problem starting the exe without debugger

[Krunoslav Ostrouska]

Hi,
i use C# with NET1.1 to create program for CE4.1 proces control device. It works fine if i debug it or just start the app from the VS2003.
But if i fresh reboot, not any of my NET applications will start (without error message).
It works again after i use the debugger to start any NET app. Till the next reboot.
I never had something like this. I can't use the device under this circumstances.
Please help,

Kruno

Sounds like the device doesn't have .NET CF 1.0 (there is no .NET CF 1.1),
installed on it. Talk to the device vendor about how to get the framework
onto the device so that it will survive a reboot. What's happening now, I
think, is that, when you deploy from VS, it detects that the framework isn't
there, so it installs it. That works until the device is rebooted, but the
\windows directory and/or the registry must not persist through the reboot
so, when you reboot, they're gone.
