The project my team has been working on has reached a point where we need to deploy it to computers without the development environment (Visual Studio 2005) installed on them. We fixed the dependency issues we had at first, but we’re still having issues.

Now, once the installer is finished, our project gets stuck somewhere before entering WinMain. It only takes up 13MB of RAM, but takes up 50% of the cpu cycles.

Are there any suggestions as to how debug this problem?

Edit: Clarification – this is a C++ project.

    Is it possible the hang occurs while some global variable is initialized? That happens before WinMain, and from a global variable’s constructor any code could be run. Also, take a look at the busy thread’s stack using Process Explorer (make sure you deploy the PBD in order to get a meaningful stack trace). The stack trace should make it obvious where is that thread hanging.
