release problem

[Leo]

hi all,

I have never programmed something in Visual Studio .NET before so here is my
newbie question:

I built this nice little application. It runs quite fast on my development
PC, then I try to run it on my customers machine and there is an
initialization error and on the machine of a friend I get a .dll missing
error.

I built the application with the release option and copied all files in the
/bin directory to the other machines.

All machines have Win2000 with the newest SP. The application is very
simple.

Where is my problem ?

Thanks,
-Leo

Are you sure they have the .NET framework and the version you are using?

You will have to deploy the .NET Framework with your application, for
example in a Setup:
