C# Windows Form Application with WCF on Windows XP
-
Hi guys, Just a quick question - I have a Windows Form (C#) with a WCF reference built on VS 2008, Windows 7. Everything works ok. The form connects to the service, gets the data I need, and outputs it to the form. Once I deploy/move the application to a Windows XP Pro machine - nothing works! I have 3.5, 3.0 and 2.0 frameworks installed with all the updates. Has anyone had a similar issue before? Or knows what could be going wrong? Perhaps I need to release the app with all references inbuilt? Thanks for your help! Xav.

That's way too vague.
- Did you get an exception? You're not swallowing those, are you?
- Checked the EventLog for details?
- Does it 'try' to launch the executable, or does it even refuse to load? (Does the mouse-cursor change?)
- You mentioned that three frameworks being present, what framework is the project using?
- Verified that DEP is off? Right-click the executable and open the properties, might say something like "blocked".

Do you get some errors? Specify them here and someone might be able to help you.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files

Hi, Try installing "ASimpleProjectSetup" This utility helps Windows display the apps developed in .NET. You can download it from Microsoft website. If case you cannot find any link for this, search for the .NET framework setup and you will see a link for "ASimpleProjectSetup" at the bottom of the page. Please tell me whether this solution works or not.
