Hello,

I have created a c# windows application in Visual Studio 2010. I build and tested it on 32-bit Win7 OS. Also I tested it on some other 32-bit Win7 OS. The result is application works perfectly.

But when I test it on Vista it gives me some problems like :

1) This program requires a missing windows component.
I am using a webbrowser control on this form.

2) ********* has stopped working.
I am using threading on this form

I am very frustrated to get the solution of it.

Please help me to get rid of these situation.

Awaiting your response.

Thanks and Regards
Kapil

Solution 1

I think you need to update your .net framework version same as your windows 7 have.

it might solve your problem.

Solution 2

1. Check the .net framework's version on target computer.

2. If you are using any SDK then make sure its runtime is on the target machine.

3. Try making a setup project which will deploy the dependencies on target machine.

1) .Net Framework is same on both the machines.
2) I am using the MSI installer on the Vista machine to install the product.

Is it really a OS issue? Any expert suggestion?

Rahul Rajat Singh 7-Mar-12 4:36am

It shouldn't be. I mean it could be a possibility that some dependent module is missing on this machine/OS. Ok why dont you try to use some application like dependency watcher to pin point the missing link.

Thanks Rahul.. Let me test the dependency watcher. As I am not familiar with dependency watcher ,do you have any example link? If yes please share with me.
