Hi everyone!

I have a program written in Visual Studio 2012 targeting .NET 3.5. When I deploy it and install/launch it on my personal laptop, it works fine. When I install and launch it on 2 of my colleagues' computers, it crashes immediately after launching. I'm at a loss. Any ideas as to what is preventing it from working successfully on their computers?

32 bit OS? 64 bit OS? Error logs? Event logs? What does "crashes immediately" mean?

Without the error message it's impossible to tell you with any accuracy what's going on.

Across all computers it installs fine. My 2 colleagues computers it won't load. It says "The program has stopped working and will check for a solution". All of our computers are 64-bit.

Not enough information. It could be as simple as the lack of required .NET version your assemblies target. Also, you could target it to specific instruction-set architecture (x86, x86-64 or Itanium IA64). Or, worse, your code depends on something specific to your system (like hard-coded path names, which you never should do). Check up everything first.

I have one hardcoded path name, but that is after I call the create directory function to create it first.

I'm going to put my money on the missing .NET version.
