I developed a Database application using VB.Net 2010 which runs and installs fine on my PC with Windows 8 64 bit but after setup on another PC with the same Windows 8 , it installs but cannot run. Also it runs in windows 8 32 bit and 64 bit processor. So, How can I make it run fine on every PC having any operating system that maybe 32 bit or 64 bit

What I have tried:

Googled but not successful. I found different solutions for 32 bit and 64 bit of windows 7 8 and 10 separately. that means i have to create different setup for different OS and different 32 and 64 bits.

"but cannot run": Any error/exception message displayed while you try to run?

if i am creating simple program in vb.net then the setup is working in windows 7, 8 and also in 10.

the thing is that i am adding sql server compact SDF database to my project. (my OS is windows 8 64 bit)
after creating setup i am able to install in all windows 8 OS.
if i am trying to install in windows 10 then it shows sql runtime error.

"unable to load the native components of sql server compact corresponding to the ado.net provider of version 8080. Install the correct version of sql server compact. refer to KB article 974247 for more details."

Did you do what that message tells you?

doing with sdf database is new to me. I am not getting about the above error message.

You have the wrong version of SQL server compact, so you need to get the correct version from Microsoft. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/974247/fix-you-receive-an-error-message-when-you-run-a-sql-server-compact-3-5[^].

Solution 2

Install sql server seperately, then prepare a programm in vb.net to copy all the necessary library files included in you vb.net project.

Change the compile option in project properties to any cpu or x86.
