[02/03]failed to load resources from resource file.

[anna7]

Hi,

I'm trying to run an app (this was developed using VB.NET 2003 and MS Office 2003).

This app runs ok under W98, W2000, W2003, WXP. But when it runs under MS Vista it displays this error:

"failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your setup"

The user can install correctly the app, but when he tries to run it, it crashes and displays this error message.

Are you trying to access files in the c:\program files or c:\windows directories?

[anna7]

Yes. In the "Program Files". Already I tried to move the data directory to "Documents" folder and it displays the same error.

The user has total rights.

But where I install the app?

It is probably UAC blocking you from accessing the files.

If you turn UAC off, does the problem go away? If it does, then that is your problem and you need to look at your code to determine what is accessing things that UAC thinks it should not.

How I can turn off UAC?

Don't turn it off permanently though, just do that as a test to see if that is what is causing your error, if it is, then that can really help you narrow down your issue.

it continues displaying the same message.

The app uses interop.xxxxxx.dll (Interop.JRO.dll, Office.DLL,...) These DLL are compatibles with Vista? Or might these be the causers of the problem?

Please any help?

Anybody has had a similar error under Vista?

thanks in advance
