This is my first application I have ever released. I built it with Visual Studio Express in c# using winform application.

I'm fairly new to this and I can't manage to find an answer to my problem.

When I try to open (launch) my application on various other computers I get a "Winformapplication has stopped working" and the application does not start. I have tried to include all the resources I use in the folder but still couldn't make this work.

Strangely enough, the application works on all the computers I have Visual Studio installed (at least I think so). It worked as well on a random laptop I tried it on and it does not have anything special I could figure out (no VSE installed).

So my question is pretty simple : how do I make this work ? what am I missing ?

I can provide more information about the application itself if required.

Thank you a lot.

edit: removed code as it was not relevant.

    You need to have the [.NET Framework](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40773) installed. – cbr Mar 20 '15 at 13:32
  • some time your the target framework is not installed on other computers. In which .net framework you have created this application, try to install the same .net framework on other computers and check it again. – Jawad Zeb Mar 20 '15 at 13:34
  • I have checked and they all have .NET 4.5 installed. At least I could not install the latest version since they already had it. – Coconut Therapy Mar 20 '15 at 13:51
  • can you post Program.cs codes – Imran Ali Khan Mar 20 '15 at 14:48
  • Edit your question to add the code to it, it's unreadable in a comment. And then delete the comment. – Nanhydrin Mar 20 '15 at 15:06
  • The rest of my code (pretty much everything) is in the various forms I created. – Coconut Therapy Mar 20 '15 at 17:23
  • The code you posted shows no useful information, `Form1` or some method that `Form1` calls is the source of your problem. – Scott Chamberlain Mar 20 '15 at 17:55
  • I thought so. Is there any way for me to find out which method might cause the problem ? – Coconut Therapy Mar 20 '15 at 18:15
  • Wrap it in a try-catch and show us the stacktrace and exception message. Then we can help you. – scottyeatscode Mar 20 '15 at 18:17
  • Thanks! My software uses a database connexion to an Access Database and the error seems to be "'Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider' Provider is not registered on the local machine.". Any lead on how I could fix this so it will work on any computer ? – Coconut Therapy Mar 20 '15 at 18:38

My error came from : "'Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider' Provider is not registered on the local machine.

A temporary fix would be to install 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components as stated on this thread.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I'm still looking for an alternative though.
