Start with the debugger.
Go to the menu: "Debug...Exceptions" and tick everything in the "thrown" column. Press OK.
Run your app, and when the exception is thrown, the debugger will halt and show you where it happened.
That should allow you to look through the call stack and see exactly what you are trying to do when it occurred, and that should help you to spot the area the problem is in.

We can't do that for you - we don't have access to your EXE much less your code, and you need the code to work it out.
So use the debugger, and try to spot what file it is trying to use. But it's probably in your form constructor code, so something it calls or does, and we just don't have access to it - so it's up to you to find actual information!

Solution 2

Make sure that property AssemblyCulture is empty

[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]

My library doesn't work if I set the culture

VB does not add that attribute.
It's more likely that the user is using a user- or custom control but has not installed the DLL correctly, or they need to reinstall VS.
It's unlikely that they are still waiting for a solution over a year later.
You should not be setting that attribute unless you want to create a satellite assembly anyway - e.g. containing globalization resources
