Unhandled Exception on deployment - otherwise no exceptions

[Dave Stewart]

I recently wrote my first Vb.net application, or at least my first complex app since moving up from vb6. When run from the VS.NET IDE, the program shows no errors and runs fine. When the output exe is run(this is a windows application) on my development pc, the exe runs fine as well. When the application is deployed on any other machine with .net framework 1.1, it generates an unhandled exception prioir to loading anything.
The setup project seems to be including all the proper dependencies and I have tried both debug and release configurations. I am running the exe from a local drive, so I do not think it is a security exception. What is causing this exception?

Knowledge Base article 836674 shows that this is a Microsoft problem.
However, the last review date on the article is 4/13/2004 which tells me they
aren't taking this problem very seriously. I have talked to at least 1
support person at Microsoft who says the workaround given in the article
doesn't work.
