Exe will not launch

I am having a problem with a standalone activex exe I am trying to build. My app runs fine through VB. But when I build an exe to and try to launch the the exe the app will not launch it simply beeps and nothing else. I have looked in task manager to make sure its not locking up but its not there.

I added a msgbox to sub Main() which is where the app is set to start from. The messagebox never shows up.

I added a logging to sub Main() which is where the app is set to start from. The log never populates.

I copied my project to a backup folder and removed alot of the references and components to see if that helps and no luck.

I added a blank form and set it to load instead of my mainform on startup. That didn't work.

Has anyone seen this? I am all out of ideas and would like to get this working.

Thanks in advance for your help.

There is no such thing as a STAND ALONE EXE in VB.

A beep when you run your app means that it is out of reference with other object such as a dll that was probably referenced.

Are you running this exe on the same machine?

Does this exe include a reference to another one of you dll's?

Did you do a formal installation of your program, or just copy it somewhere?
