my application written in VS2010 does not work on other computers
Hi,
I have written a simple windows application - VS2010, OS-Windows 7 x64
it uses telerik radgridview and button.
When I try to start the application, it throws error:
"WinForms has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
I try it on XP on VMware and on Windows 2003 Ent.
It is 4 hours I am googling to find a solution with no success

1. I installed .NET 4 on other OS
2. It does not copy itself, I did it manually

I'm not familiar with the specific control, but in many cases there are dependencies on the controls themselves. Do they provide you with a runtime distribution?
Take a look at this:
http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/installation-deployment-and-distribution-application-deployment.html
if you sen the control to copy locally, it *should* copy any other dependent libraries with it...

What I did:
1 - installed .NET 4 (I compiled for .NET 4) on target computer
2 - copied all Telerik dlls to "bin" directory in my application folder
I did not understand what you mean. It is the first time I use this control for Windows application, before I used its ASP.NET Ajax dlls.

The obvious things to check are:
1. Correct .NET runtime is installed (x64/x86)
2. Telerik controls do not need a different runtime library (are they .NET 4?)
3. Select properties of Telerik in references and select Copy Local, then recompile

I tried this to make local copy, it copies all DLLs to folder where .exe file, I tried to move them into bin folder
no effect

what about the telerik prerequisites?

I tried to make a fresh install of .NET4 and reboot it, then copied there my application.
Probably u r right, the problem is with Telerik component
Probably u r right, the problem is with Telerik component
difficult to say for certain, but looks like teleric needs .net 2.0

What I tried on VMWare XP:
- installed .NET2, .NET3, .NET4
- installed telerik components installation
the same error

Have you made the target specifically x64?

No, I could find where to do that

>>But my application even does not start
it might start but you might have some instructions (like trying to access resources) that prevent it from correctly starting). Put messages in your initializers, form's load event, ... everywhere code is run before the first is being displayed.

have you made sure that all your references other then Microsoft (at least Telerik in your case) have the "Copy Local" set to true and that you have copied all the files from the bin folder (debug or release depending on your current mode) to the other PC?

You were right, finally found the row making trouble. It was DataSet(!).
removed it, initialized all data manually, and it worked.

Has the telerik control library copied itself to the destination folder?
