Try creating the set up using Package and deployment wizard and and run the setup in the other system, and then try running the application.

Hi ,

Check for any dependencies that you might be missing out. Creating a build through Package and deployment wizard as suggested by debashis should solve the issue you are facing.

good luck

Hi Ahmad,
You should pack your project using "Package and Deployment Wizard" before running your project in another PC, because not all PC have a similar system files.
The wizard will help you making a setup / installer file from your project.
It's important for you to pay attention to your WindowsXP Service Pack. Because if you made your project package in Service Pack-1, It isn't gonna run well in Service Pack-2. It works both way. (It happened to me)
