runtime problems

[Guest]

I made an app with VB.net 2003, which I then posted to the net for others to
use. I'd been updating it, and someone had been testing it for me, and
everything was going well until I got a new PC, and now no-one else seems to
be able to run the program.

I haven't set it up as a deployment, I just give them the compiled
executables and it previously just ran. Strangely, one person said it ran if
they installed the v2 .net runtimes, but wouldn't work with 1.1, which is
what I've developed it with. I ran windows update on the new PC, but have
never installed version 2 of the framework.

I've used a comparison application to check for differences between the code
on the new PC and my old PC, and there are none, but I just can't work out
why the app now won't work for other people, when it did previously.

Any suggestions for things to check?

Hi,

Thanks for the offer.

A bit of background first...

The app is designed to batchprint DWF files to a given printer. A DWF is
similar to a PDF, but containing CAD data (typically produced by an Autodesk
application). I use the DWF Viewer ActiveX control on my form, to
interrogate and print the DWF's.

In order for the application to run, you must have the latest DWF Viewer
installed
(http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=4424149). If you
don't wish to install this viewer, then that's cool, I understand.

If you do install it and have a look at the app, I've coded it as well as I
can, and have avoided shortcuts and bodges to the best of my ability, but I'm
not a pro coder...

Cheers,

Col.

Ok, I should probably post a link to my application as well....
