The path is not of a legal form

I have this crazy problem with my project and it's shutting me down completey.  On one machine my project works fine, but on my target machine, it generates this error.

Does anyone have any idea of the problem?  If so I would love to hear from you.  I am freaking out.

Do you have any idea on whick line this problem occurs?

If you have pdb files of the project then put them to the bin folder of your program and try to get a more meaningful exception.
