Program does not start at all
This error can have two known causes: .Net Framework not installed or Wrong Compatibility Settings. Program stops executing
This error can have two known causes: Programming errors or Errors in configuration etc..
You will most probably get an error message saying: "Mscoree.dll Could Not Be Found"
.Net Framework 2.0 or higher must be installed at the computer.
More information:
• Open the Add/Remove programs window this way: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove programs
• A list similar to this will appear:
(Screen dump from Windows 2000. Other Windows versions look similar. .Net Framework 1.1 is installed here.)
You will most probably get an error message saying: "CLR Error:80070002 The program will terminate now" or something similar. This has been reported on WinXP systems only (Thanks René).
Check the program compatibility settings:
• Right click on the program executable file (.exe) and select the tab Compatibility.
• ALL checkboxes on this tab should be kept unmarked.
All program files (incl. the executable) are by default installed to a subfolder (named as the program itself) to the Program Files folder at your system's primary hard drive (mostly the C:\ drive). The Program Files folder may have localized names, e.g. Programmer (in Danish).
Both situations will throw an "Unhandled exception"; and show this dialog box.
The error message is the last line. It is in your computers language.
As the message in the dialog says, you can try to click the "Continue" button. This might work...
However, I would like to have these errors reported; including some details.
Therefore click the "Details" button...
The first lines points to the origin of the exception. Please report this to me!
In this example, please reoprt:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
"at EzMigration.MainWindow.CheckForInitialReboot()"
This will give me the type of exception; and where to start looking for the cause.
