You need to find out what the exception is. Ideas:

- Set up an exception handler which reports the stack trace (StackTrace
property). Use a debug build.

- Set up remote debugging, and step through the code in VS.Net to find out
where the error occurs

If you get an error before your app starts, it could because of a missing
assembly. Using any third-party libraries?

Re: Windows 98 &amp; .NET problem

Unlike Java, .NET does not promise complete insulation from differences in
operating systems. There are quite a few things that you can do in Windows
2000 from .NET that are not supported in Windows 98. Some of them are
easily recognized, such as lack of support for services. Others are more
difficult to deal with - can't think of a specific one right now, but they
can get very subtle. You need stack traces. Make sure to move your Debug
file (*.PDB) over to the 98 machine. This will add the line numbers.

Re: Windows 98 &amp; .NET problem

Thank you for answers.

Actualy o found what was wrong. In my setup project some system files were
included( my main assembly dependecies) and that caused to crash some
windows 98 machines. After i excluded system files program started to work
normaly :)

Ha about my computer clock :))
I think my clock is ok, showing Lithuania time :), but timezone was set to
US&Canada ;))))))
