Deployment Problems ***HELP**
So here is the deal:
> I ported a VB 6.0 project to Visual Studios 2013
> Corrected the 100+ errors and prog runs fine
> Installed INSTALLSHIELD limited addition and activated
> Created a setup and deployment file and it installed fine on my IDE PC - prog works in this machine
> But, can not get the setup and deployment to work on onther PC's. It appears to work/install as it goes through the motions; short-cuts install and the program is listed in CONTROL PANEL.
> However, trying to start the program does nothing. I get the circular wait cursor for a few seconds (used to be hour glass) and then nothing.
Any ideas?

Check the Application Event logs, it is possible you are missing a prerequisite for the program to run. Something you have installed on your dev machine but not the target machine.
Odds are the application is crashing on launch due to a missing file or reference.

Yes, there is an error in the Event Log , but it refers to KERNELBASE32.DLL - whis is on the machine. There is no other refernece to any missing file. Is there a way to determine required prerequisites?

Are there any other errors or warnings from the .Net Framework around that same time? those usually come in pairs

ok, so your application tried to do something that was not a valid operation. the details of that exception should give you an idea of where to start looking for missing dependencies or frameworks.
