Setup & Deployment wizard problems - please help

Hi

I've developed an application in VB.NET. I'm now trying
to deploy it to another computer which has XP pro
and .NET Framework 1.1 installed.
I included a Setup & Deployment wizard project to my
existing solution. I followed the wizard and built the
solution (release). When i try to install the program
using the msi file the program installs fine but crashes
when i try to run it with the following message:
"The application generated an exception that cannot be
handled." Then it lists the process and thread id. No
more info is given.
If i try to install and run it on the computer used to
develop (i.e. where VS.NET is installed) it runs
fine....as expected.
The setup program checks whether .NET is installed. I
have also tried to manually include all the dependencies
into the setup project. When building it says that these
are included in the .NET framework

Does anyone know what could cause this and why it doesn't
work?
I have run out of options now. All books and guides says
the same....basical ly just follow the wizard and it will
do the work for you.

Thanks

I have an app that is deployed that uses .config file settings. I have an update of that app that I am installing using a setup and deployment project. The basic setup process works fine. Now I want to get a little fancier. I need to have the setup process check for the existence of the .NET Framework and install it if it is not present. How do I do this? To carry this even a step further, how do I detect the VERSION of .NET...

OK, sorry for the silly question but..... I have been writing apps for a while now in VB.Net but I have always just run them from the IDE. This time though I have written an app that I want to install on many computers. So, I went to the program group looking for "Package & Deployment Wizard" as in VB6 but it isn't there! So, how do I create a setup program?? Thanks

Hello all, I'm new to VB.net and have just built a small application that makes use of some VB6 ocx such as mscomm32.ocx for data communication with a machine. The application runs OK but when I tried to build the installer using the Setup and Deployment Projects, I always get the following warning messages saying that the dependencies cannot be found as follows: WARNING: Unable to find dependency 'INTEROP.RICHTEXTLIB'
