Question

I was trying to create an simple database-driven application in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 2010. It worked correctly while i tested in the visual studio environment. But, when i published it, installed and ran in the same computer. It didn’t open. And when i saw the error details it was like this:

Description:
  Stopped working

Problem signature:

PS: I run Windows 7 Pro. and I used a MSACCESS 2007 Database for my application. And Builded the executable (or published) using the Same Visual Studio I was developing in.

Answer 1

Possible reason why your application didn’t open is because (maybe) the System.Data.dll was not found on the system (or was not included during the publishing).

When I deploy my application, I always build a separate project file for the SETUP. Because Publish is really called Click Once, which is useful, but of course it can’t handle complicated stuff like drivers, registry entries, install location, and other stuff.

Here’s a good tutorial to create SETUP for deployment on your Application.
