Error on Starting From on Client Machine - system.invalidoperationexception

EDN Admin · Feb 27, 2012

Thank you, anyone who can shed some light on this.
I have a VB 2008 app that has been running fine. I added a number of modifications to it, but almost all in other forms that are loaded only when requested by the user, but a lot of changes overall.
This, of course, works fine on my development machine, but on deployment it fails with this error before any line of code is reached, the form never loads. And incidentally, fails on an XP and Win 7 machine, with the same error.
Here is the error
P1 massarellioutboundorders.exe, 
P2 1.0.0.0, 
P3 4f4c3078, 
P4 massarellioutboundorders, 
P5 1.0.0.0, 
P6 4f4c3078, 
P7 1a, 
P8 e9, 
P9 system.invalidoperationexception, 
P10 NIL. 

I loaded ILDASM and it shows the error is occurring in massarellioutboundorders.exe, And P7 1a appears to be the form being created. Ive stripped out as many of the changes as I can see that were added in an attempt to bring it back
to where it was working, to no avail
Any suggestions on how I might troubleshoot this error, or a better way to debug it as Im starting to run out of ideas.
Below is the P1 1a section of the IL code dump, if that is of any help
Thanks for any suggestions on this, Tim Conway
