Published app takes a long time to load

[vixez]

Hello,
Whenever I publish my app, or when I run the exe from teh debug folder it takes a couple of seconds before the splash screen shows.
However, when I run it from within VB (by pressing the "play" button) the splash screen shows immediately.

What could be the cause of this?

Build the application to the release folder and see what you get.

Also, can you show us the code you're using to load the splash screen and other options?

    Partial Friend Class MyApplication
        Protected Overrides Function OnInitialize( _
        ByVal commandLineArgs As  _
        System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) _
        ) As Boolean
            'Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 2000
            Return MyBase.OnInitialize(commandLineArgs)
        End Function
    End Class

End Namespace

Splashscreen1.vb

    Private Sub SplashScreen1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        BackColor = Color.White
        TransparencyKey = BackColor
        Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
    End Sub
End Class
