What is the meaning of this error?

Hi Experts

I have a virtual machine running on my PC to test all my programs on. And now I finally tried to test one of my applications, but I get a very strange error each time there is supposed to open a OpenFileDialog. I have published my application and installed it on the virtual machine with XP Service Pack2 and .Net Framework V1.1.4322, V2.0.50727, V3.0 and V3.5. Doesn't matter what I try, the error still keeps popping up.
Can anyone please help me out a bit?

Thanx in advance

Did you made an installation package of your programm?
Seems like you need to do a propper install on the virtual enviroment so that all dependencies are there.

The:
'C:\Documents and Settings\Benvor\Desktop\OpenFileDialog1' path seems like the wrong place to be looking for openfiledialg.
So add a setup and deployment project and try the setup file.

Can you please elaborate a bit on the "add a setup and deployment project" please

I only have:
1) Windows Forms Application
2) Class Library
3) WPF Application
4) WPF Browser Application
5) Console Application

Can this be because I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition?

SNilsson

Yes it might be, I have never used the express edition, but I find it hard to belive that there is no deploy tool in that version.
Try searhing for deploy in the help file, maybe its done in another way in express ed.
