Application errors out on Vista

An application I wrote installs ok on W98 and XP. When installed it asks for
Framework 1.1. When the application is installed on Vista and Framework 1.1
is made available, the application installs ok but errors out as soon as the
icon is clicked to start up the application. The application was developed
using Visual Studio 2003. Converting the application in Visual Studio 2005
did not solve any problems. What should be done to get the application to
run on Vista? Please help.
Many thanks,
Adrian

Adrian,

Without seeing any of the errors, any of the code, it's impossible to
say.

I assume that the application is running off the local machine. If you run
it as an administrator does it still "error out"?

Many thanks,

I cannot easily let you have the code because it is a system with 30
classes.

Hi Adrian

Your kind of asking, I've lost a piece of hay in a haystack, where is
it? The error could be anywhere in your code.

Do you have an error number or message? Does the app crash immediately
or does it happen when you do something, click a button for instance?

You really do have to provide more info to have any chance of getting
anywhere with this. Not necessarily all your code but definately a bit
more than I've got an error in my app what is it?

It might help you isolate the cause if you add some error handling to
your code.
