Hi All,
Another in the continuing saga, I have managed to get Vis Studio 2022 to open the project and I can build it all is good, but I am trying to run the Exe on Windows 10 (the test rig is built around Win 10) which is built in Win 11, I have changed the .NET version to 3.0 as it does not need anything fancy.
I have also updated the Win10 to the latest. Still not working, there must be a setting I can't see (or Google can't point me toward)

What I have tried:

Rolled back the .NET version...

"Still not working"
As we often say in this forum, "what does 'not working' mean"?

Won't run

Strange idea: Try to run it as admin Sometimes it helps ... e.g. when the application tries to open something in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE with write access

Because of security I can't run as admin!!(mutter,mutter...)

Solution 1

Check your build type: if you are running a 32 bit system (Win 10 or 11) and building for a 64 bit EXE file, it won't work.

Then check it running it under the debugger rather than executing an EXE directly: that'll tell you if it works at all, will (hopefully) show you error messages if it doesn't, and allow you to step through code to find out how far it does get before crashing out.
