Hi all

I have recently developed an aplication in XP that it works on XP nice but in vista or seven don't work at all. It gives a message when I try to enter the application like " The program cannot run.."

Well, anyone had already this problem or know how to solve it?
Thank you!

I've written a fairly complex program in Windows XP that worked equally well on Windows 7 with the one caveat being, the UAC caused problems with disk reading/writing. If I run the program as an admin, the problem goes away and it runs perfectly.

What exactly did the error say? "The program cannot run..." because????

Silly question but are you sure you have the correct version of the .Net framework installed on the Vista and Windows 7 machines? I would think those OS's come with it pre-installed but maybe not.

Well, the message is like " The program left working .."
If I try to run as administrator is the same thing.
I have the correct version 3.5 .Net framework..

Never hard of an error message that said The program left working, so take a screenshot of the error message you get so we can see it

Well, I can take a picture, but the language is in portuguese...
I dont know the exactly the message in english..maybe: "The program doesn't work..."
And there is one more thing, today I made a test, I create an application with a simple button and a simple msgbox and it worked nicely on all SO's..

Your best bet is to install VS on one of those machines and do some debugging to find out why the application isn't working. If that's not possible, maybe implement some sort of simple logging feature to help debug your application.

You just proved it works by creating that test application so it's something specific in your code that's causing the issue. Unless you can provide us with a more detailed descriptions of the problem, I don't know what more we can do for you.

Good luck either way

I'll do it tomorrow!. (Debugging)
Well, firstly I thought the problem was in the code that I made to create everytime we enter in application (a document (*.txt).)
So, I developed a simple application just with that parts of my full application and it works nicely again on all SO's.
But I will test on a virtual machine too, I'm downloading now Linux Ubuntu.
Thank you!!
