Deployment Problems ***HELP**
So here is the deal:

 

> I ported a VB 6.0 project to Visual Studios 2013

 

> Corrected the 100+ errors and prog runs fine

 

> Installed INSTALLSHIELD limited addition and activated

 

> Created a setup and deployment file and it installed fine on my IDE PC - prog works in this machine

 

> But, can not get the setup and deployment to work on onther PC's. It appears to work/install as it goes through the motions; short-cuts install and the program is listed in CONTROL PANEL.

 

> However, trying to start the program does nothing. I get the circular wait cursor for a few seconds (used to be hour glass) and then nothing.

 

Any ideas?

  • Check the Application Event logs, it is possible you are missing a prerequisite for the program to run. Something you have installed on your dev machine but not the target machine.

     

    Odds are the application is crashing on launch due to a missing file or reference.
  • Yes, there is an error in the Event Log , but it refers to KERNELBASE32.DLL - whis is on the machine. There is no other refernece to any missing file. Is there a way to determine required prerequisites?
  • ok, so your application tried to do something that was not a valid operation. the details of that exception should give you an idea of where to start looking for missing dependencies or frameworks.
