For the first time in about a decade, I had to produce a WinForm App that reaches out to a local network location to get data (Tif Images).
I've done lot's of WinForm stuff for myself, but this is the first time I've had to give the end product to someone else.
The setup for the application and the application was created in VS2005.
The end user had the Network Admin log in as administrator and installed it with the Setup.exe created by VS2005, from a CD I provided.
No Problems.
End User logs in as himself (non-Admin) and cannot run the program with the either the Desktop Shortcut or the Start Menu shortcut. Some wierd error like 'Fatal error during installation' and some text referring to the copy of the installation package file MyApp.msi.
Is it the temp location where the MSI file was during install from CD?
I've repeated the error myself, and by going directly to the C:\Program Files\blah\blah\MyApp.exe file and double-clicking on it, I can get it to run.* It seems just the shortcuts are all farked up.
I can even create my own shortcut to the exe and it works.
When I compare the install shortcut with mine, the TARGET is different and un-editable in the install shortcut.
This is probably a rookie question, but can anyone describe what is possibly the problem here or suggest how to fix this?
