Abort/Dump in ClickOnce app before my code runs

[Just_a_fan]

I have a program which runs fine here (created in VB9). I publish it to
my web site for download & install. It runs on some computers (one or
two) but not others. When it does not run, it causes a reporting and
submission window to pop up. It seems something is missing.

This program was converted from a VB6 original piece. Unfortunately, I
started on the .NET path just a couple of weeks after getting this app
going. I have "Publish"ed other apps to the web site as a test and they
are OK. They were converted from .NET 2003 or 2005.

I have gotten rid of the VB.Format conversions and use just "Format"
now. I thought there might be something there. No change.

I commented this line. It did not change the problem and does not cause
any errors: 'Imports VB = Microsoft.VisualBasic

Just in case someone wants to see this error up close and personal, here
is the path to it. As far as I know (as Norton tell me), it is virus
free but...

I put a msgbox as the first statement of the startup form's load event
and the msgbox never comes up. Therefore, something bad is happening
before I ever get to my code.

I cannot figure out (since M$ won't tell me) what is missing. I expect
some required .dll is not being bundled and distributed by the Publish
process. I included four items I found in the compile statement
(graphing and something else) and that is when the program started
running on some machines. It still does not run on others. All WinXP
environments.

Is there anything in the dump that tells me what it is wanting? I can
see it but don't know how to glean anything useful from it. Give me a
IBM VM or MVS dump and I might get somewhere with it but this stuff is
foreign to me.

Error signature
Event Type: clr20r3
it says it is a system.invalidoperationexception

I have values for P1 through P7 including the program name twice and the
version info twice and some other value twice (47ed5b7e) and P7:1b and
P8:ca , if they are worth anything.

WHAT invalid op?

This is VERY repeatable.

Is there anything I can do to find out what the real problem is?

It won't trash your system. It just GPFs and goes away. It installs in
an obfuscated directory and does not mess with anything.

I was targeting .NET 2.0. How do I force out the install for that?

Would be glad to post the dump if M$ would let me get hold it. So far,
I can't find any way to get it.

It is not selectable, just viewable. Is it saved somewhere I can find?

It is the run after install that is failing.

A box comes up saying that I can submit the dump and I have the option
to look at it but no way to copy it off to post anywhere.

If anyone knows where it is stashed for the upload, I guess I can find
it there and post.

Already posted that I did just that.

The first statement of the form load is a msgbox. It never gets to it.

I can't get to the code to run anything!

Wish I could.
