Hi there,
I have thrown together a simple WinForms application using an Access database for data storage, and the progam seems to work well. However, if I try to run it on any machine other than one essentially identical to the one I wrote it on, it just doesn't work ... no crash, no exceptions thrown, just hit the icon, the wheel spins for a second or two and then nothing.
I have tried to run the program elsewhere by simply copying the files from the Release folder, and that works on any PC attached to the same network as the machine I wrote it one but nowhere else, and by creating an installer from VS2019 but both fail to run in exactly the same way on other machines. Can't try out the installation on the network PCs as I don't have administrative privileges.
The installed .NET framework versions are the same on all the machines I have tried to run it on.
It is frustrating ... this doesn't feel like something that should be this difficult!
Any help anyone can suggest would be most welcome.
Thanks,
David
