VB .NET EXE Won't Run

[Art Cabot]

When I try to run my VB.NET executable outside of Visual Studio, I never get
my opening form. In Task Manager I see the app running under "Processes" and
hovering around 98% CPU utilization.

I made a deployment project and installed from that, as well as just copying
the EXE over to the program directory. I also installed dotnetfx.exe, even
though it seems that it should already be on the machine, seeing as how it's
my development machine.

Anybody have any idea what's happening?

Art,

You did not even tell what operating system is used on that computer. How
you want to get an answer when you do not describe the environment a little
bit. We cannot see what you see.

The computer in question (which is the development machine) is a 2.3ghz Dell
running XP Pro, 512mb RAM.

I didn't go into that originally because I assumed the problem was not the
machine but something I was doing (or not doing) in deployment.

What you'd "see" would be what I described; no opening form, just the app
process running at 98% CPU utilization in Task Manager (which pretty much
indicates an XP or Windows 2000 machine, doesn't it?).

Art,

The only quick and dirty way I think about. Is quickly create a windowsform
project with nothing on it. Only the default settings. Quickly create a
simple deployment project using the wizard and than deploy that.

Cost you probably maximum 20 minutes. However when that runs, than you know
it is your program. When it is not running. Exact.

I hope that this helps,
