It's impossible to say because we have no idea what your application does, what it was doing at the time of the exception, what resources your app is using (i.e.: databases, files, )... nothing.

Thanks Dave.
It uses database to check some entries at start, at the time when it throws error.

OK, WHICH database? Is it some edition of SQL Server??

Yes, it is SSCE database

SQL Server Compact Edition?

0) Make sure the SQL Server CE Runtime SP2 is installed.

1) Try running the app as an Administrator.

2) Make sure your storing the database file in an unprotected folder. Putting it under Program Files doesn't qualify. The file must be writable to normal users. If you have questions on whether it is or isn't, just try to create a Text File in the folder from Explorer. A normal folder for data would be C:\ProgramData\<your application name>.

Could you just tell me how to install application as an administrator. I am already logged in as Administrator to my computer.
