Help with Deployment needed!! System.IO.FileIOException"

[Hexman]

OK, so I got my vb.net application to a state where my user can do
some testing. It's been running on my machine without problems.

When I copied all the files from the bin directory to the users
machine and tried to run, it came up with the subject error message.
I searched online and found Article 834610 in MSDN which identified
the problem as a known bug. I applied the workaround but still coming
up with the error.

The code that gives the error (at least one of them) is

Dim dlg As New FileDialog
dlg.Text = "Select Input File Directory"
dlg.ShowDialog() <----------Error here ---------------

Can anyone help out?

Thanks,

Hexman

Hi,

I would not use the file dialog. Use one the other classes that
inherit from it like the OpenFileDialog or SaveFileDialog instead. If you
are selecting a directory use the FolderBrowserDialog.
