    Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0x000007b)

    Hello,
    I have WinXpSp3 Home edition and VS2010 installed on it.
    My problem is when i create a windows application, it works fine, but when i shut down my PC i try to run the application from outside the VS2010 from (Bin\Debug\MyApp.exe) i get this error :

    • The application failed to initialize properly (0x000007b)

    I re-installed VS2010 and still the problem.
    I installed a fresh copy of WinXpSp3 Pro and i still get the same problem.
    I re-installed my home edition WinXpSp3 and VS 2010 again and still the same problem.
    The strange thing is that when i run my application on another PC with VS2010 THE SAME VERSION OF os AND VS it works fine WITH NO PROBLEM.
    And when i try another application from another PC on my PC i get the same problem ....
    Any suggestions?!
    I'm suffering here .................

    What versions of .NET are installed on your machine?

    I'mmmm pretty sure that VS2010 comes with .Net framework 4.0 by default .. So it is .Net framework 4.0 ....

    Try running the one in the Release folder instead. Tell us if you're getting the same error with that one.

    Oh, you just have to build the application from the 'Build' menu. Running it would only compile the debug version.

    You actually need to change the build configuration to release mode from debug mode. Then you will get output in the release folder. However I really don't think this is your issue, because you should be able to run the exe from the debug folder just fine.

    I do now run the exe from the debug folder fine.Though i still don't have any files stored in the release folder, i was just wondering if there's anything i should worry about, when i don't have files in the release folder though ?!!
