applications individually, they all start fine. If I have a batch file
that starts each of them quickly, on *most* machines all three run
fine.
BUT! On some older/slower machines (really not all that old or slow
and that are configured identically to the newer/faster machines), when
I start all 3 with the batch file, one of them will not start and a
popup containing:
"failed to load resources from resource file"
is displayed. If I start them individually, they all work just fine.
From searching on here and the web in general, it seems like that
message is most often associated with loading resources for a specific
culture. The program in question is not set up to use multiple
cultures, and uses only resources that C#/.NET/VS embed into the DLL.
This seems like some sort of race condition and I have been unable to
coax any more informative error messages from the system.
Any help greatly appreciated!
