application not starting

[cf_user]

Hi,
I created an simple hello program in .NET
I copied the executable to another machine with .Net Framework installed

I can run it as an Windows administrator (user with Windows Admin rights)
However, as a user with Windows "User" rights my application fails to start.

Any thoughts?

Hard to say without knowing what code your application performs. As a side note however most applications arent distributed as the compiled exe, but instead are wrapped into a deployment package which can be istalled on the target pc. Im assuming this isnt what you did?

Actually, there was no code, I just created a blank form application; i.e. when you run the executable, a generic windows form comes up. And no, I didnt create a deployment package. I just copied the executable over to the target machine.

What error (if any) does it give?

 

[cf_user]

alas, not even an error. I even checked the event logs.

If you are running taskmanager and then start the app does it appear in the task list?

when you double click on the application, you see the application name pop up in the task manager, and then it goes away.
