My app gives a fileioexception (file not found) at runtime for one user?

Hi

I have sent my app to test with one of our people and it works fine, but
when put into a customer's PC, it comes up with a FileIOException (file not
found) as soon as it is run.

I've gone through the references, and the only ones I have that aren't
"standard" .net stuff, are DLLs included in the same folder as the
executable... and it works for our tester in any case.
How can I find out what file it can't access? The "What does this error
report contain" stuff is just reams of memory dumps and so on. My program
doesn't load any files at runtime so I don't think it's as simple as
commenting out a bit of stuff and seeing what happens...
thanks

If these "non-standard" DLLs are COM DLLs, they must be registered on the
client machine to work.

They aren't, however I am also referencing "ADODB" which on my machine
appears to come from c:\program files\microsoft.net\primary interop
assemblies\adodb.dll... is this a strictly .net thing or does it require a
certain mdac and so on behind the scenes?
Our main application (a vb6 one) works ok to the relevant database using
ADO, so I assume the database engine installation should be ok (but you
never know!)

The 3 "non standard" dll's I referred to are all .net ones.
