Users getting an error when starting my application

Hello !

Just wrote a small console application which converts images into other image file formats.
When I am running it on my computer it doesn't give any error messages but when users run it then the application gives out this message:
http://rghost.ru/45919448/image.png

And the code is here:

Code:

---

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.IO
Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Console.WriteLine("Converting images")
        Try
            command()
        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
        End Try
        Console.WriteLine("Done")
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
    Private Sub command()
        Console.WriteLine(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath)
        Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\")
        Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
        Dim dra As IO.FileInfo
        For Each dra In diar1
            Dim path1 As String = dra.ToString
            Try
                Dim bmp As New Bitmap(path1)
                Dim file_path As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(path1)
                Console.WriteLine(file_path)
                Dim name As String = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path1)
                Dim new_file_path As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\" & name & ".dds"
                DevIL.DevIL.SaveBitmap(new_file_path, bmp)
                Console.WriteLine(new_file_path)
            Catch ex As Exception
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
            End Try
        Next
    End Sub
End Module

Also I will attach a dll file and compiled exe file.
Application should be build with 3.5 framework and as 86x bit (32x), in the attachment exe file was compiled with VB2008 .Net version.
Where might be a problem ... ?
Thank you

It is against forum rules to attach binary files to your posts. I have notified the mods and they will remove your attachment if you do not do so first.

When these users are running your application, is that DevIL.NET2.dll in the same folder as your EXE?

Prieviously when I made a post I was asked to add some files as attachment ... as users couldn't test the file without them ...

Yes it is in the same fodler as exe file ... and it is very strange, can't uderstand where is the difference between my pc and their ...
As my pc don't have that error bu they have ...
Do you have any other ideas where the problem might be ... ?

Where did you reference the file when building the application? That's where the application is searching for it, not necessarily in the same folder as the exe.

It's OK to attach files to a post but not binaries. If you attach project files then we can see what's in them but if you attach binaries and we execute them we have no way of knowing that they are safe. If some third-party DLL is required to run your project then we simply can't run your project unless there's some other source from which it can be obtained.

I was attaching dll files as usual always worked in this way:
Attachment 100177

The key maybe the 5 words that happen after the assembly name ... "or one of its dependencies." ... which means that DevIL.NET2 may be relying on yet more assemblies, which aren't being carried over to the project's folder...

What IS DevIL.NET anyways?

That's a library which alows to load dds images as bitmap into vb.net ... in the code written above it's shown.

ok, so it sounds like that it is "relying on yet more assemblies, which aren't being carried over to the project's folder..."

where did you source your binaries from exactly?

I would suggest using Process Monitor ---> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/s.../bb896645.aspx

Filter the list to show only your application. Then when you start your application you will be able to see everything your application is looking for along with the ones it cannot find. And go from there.

Make sure you run it on a computer that is giving you the error

The DLL you are using is a .NET wrap the original devIL.dll, which is a COM dll I believe. You need to have devIL.dll in the folder as well because devIL.NET.dll references it, I believe.
