Answer 1

Not my usual task to handle, but some sort of missing dependency or misconfiguration I would assume. This is a rehash of previous answers.

Here is a somewhat broader-scope check-list of things to try than the below list: EXE file is not working (recommended skim). Maybe try the questions below first though.

Crash on Launch

This is just a messy list intended to spark debugging ideas. Please improve inline if you find inaccuracies.

Many things could make an application crash on launch. I doubt all the issues listed would cause crashes, but rather error messages. Also: several of the points overlap quite a bit.

• Dependency issues: missing files & runtimes - and registrations (and maybe drivers?). Assembly binding issues (GAC, manifest).
• Configuration issues: erroneous paths or URLs specified in config files (often from developer machine). Or even a wrong license file or decryption key (see other bullet points - lots of overlaps).
• Encoding issues: just to mention potential problems such as ANSI / Unicode, encryption / decryption, compression / decompression. Illegal characters in path names?
• Licensing issues: invalid license or no connection to licensing server. Essentially a configuration issue, but listing it as its own issue. Could also be network related.
• Hardware / Driver issues: I have seen applications crash if they can't connect to hardware (driver issues). Is that a bar-code reader application? Does it need a connected device? Maybe the driver is old, or worse: experimental. (Your exe is called POSBarcode.exe indicating communication with a hardware device?).
• Platform & Bitness issues: mixing x86, x64 files for example. Application can't run on virtual machines? Application can only run on embedded devices? I am on shaky ground here. Just listing everything that comes to mind. Expansive list, not conclusive.
• Permission issues: some sort of permission denied.
  • licensing issues can look and act like permission denied (no proper warning).
  • lacking NTFS rights (files, folders, shares, registry).
  • lacking NT privileges.
  • problems with authentication & authorization for database connections.
  • blocking security software (anti virus, firewalls).
  • missing AD group membership & group policy interference.
  • Code Access Security issues? (Shouldn't crash, should it? I know CAS has been changed a lot, I am not up to speed).
• Don't know whether to list networking issues (no connection, proxy fail, etc...), encryption issues (app doesn't decrypt the gobbledigook it receives), some applications may even refuse to launch if the system clock is wrong (I guess to prevent wrong date and time to make it into the database), localization issues?, OS-version or edition?, etc...

Overall question: are you launching as a valid user with the necessary AD group memberships and licenses on a machine that is current and up to date with the runtimes required and you have a working network connection with security software momentarily disabled for testing purposes?

Below is the original answer.

Dependencies & Erroneous Configuration

A list of specific questions:

• Debugability: Visual Studio?
  • Is this your own application so you have the source code available?
  • If so, does it run properly in Visual Studio in debug mode?
• Dependencies: Have you tested for presence of basic, required runtime components / conditions?
  • Did you try to run the application in question on another computer first of all? A clean virtual machine, a test server, a test workstation an SOE machine? Are you testing using the same user credentials as you use on your dev-box?
  • Is the target computer the same architecture as your developer machine? What CPU are you targeting? Is there anything special about the problem, target computer? Does it have weird policies? Does it have security software blocking things? Does it lack a common runtime component that is installed on your development computer? (.NET, VC++ runtime, VC runtime, java, etc...).
  • If it works in Visual Studio, try to use the modules view to get an idea of what the project loads interactively: Debug => Start Debugging, then go Debug => Windows => Modules. It should show whatever was loaded to run your project interactively. Copy whatever is missing from your release folder in place when identified.
  • Have you run through a basic dependency check using tools such as Dependencies.exe? (direct link to release tab).
  • There is also the aging and outdated Dependency Walker which features a profiling feature (launch EXE and monitor dependencies). This is a C++ application as opposed to the mentioned C# / C application Dependencies.exe. It lacks handling of advanced features such as side-by-side assemblies and API-sets.
  • What does Fuslogvw.exe report? (.NET assembly binding failures).
  • How do I determine the dependencies of a .NET application? (just for reference).
• Configuration: Could there be something wrong in your manifest file or some other settings file? Seems likely based on the log.
  • Paths: Some relative path pointing to a folder in your source hierarchy not present on the normal box in release mode? Hard-coded dev-box references pointing to missing resources or inaccessible network locations on the release system?
  • Files: Could there be lacking resource files? (images, dlls, etc...). Maybe it is just an image file or some sort of settings file that is missing altogether?
  • Process Monitoring: These are the things a procmon.exe session could help reveal. Primitive sample usage.
