Problem with POS for .NET SDK

[Guest]

Hi there,
i installed POS for .NET SDK on a KIOSK machine. The problem that im getting
is it runs perfectly well with the simulator devices that are provided with
the sdk but even the sample application when run on the machine fails and
gives the following stack trace.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by
the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentException: Version string
portion was too short or too long.

The exception arises when the object of PosExplorer class is initialised
posExplorer = new PosExplorer(this);

All the devices are working absolutely fine with the diagnostic utils that
are provided.

Any help or advice where to start from would be highly appreciated
Thanks
