  • 0

Ive developed a winforms application on my local machine using .net 4.0 and it runs fine. I have all dotnet versions installed.

When I copied the .exe and all of its references (the complete bin\debug and bin\release) to another machine it simply does not run. On one of my VMS it fires up visual studio express and asks if I want to connect a debgger. On other machines it just doesnt do anything.

But I can work out what on earth is going on.

I have referenced soem xceed dlls that are installed in GAC but not on the target machines GAC could this be the problem?

How do I tell what the hell is going on?

    Yes, the xceed dlls (and every other referenced dlls) must exist on the target machine — either included in the application directory or the GAC.

    You may try specifying “Copy Local = true” to the suspect references, and rebuilding your project, so that these dlls are specifically included with the compiled assemblies.
