Why wont my .NET 3.5 app run on fresh installation of windows7?

Question

In C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework i see v3.0 and v3.5. I found that path in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\InstallRoot which also has that path.

In C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework i see versions from 1 to 3.5

My app was built in msvs2010rc1 targeting 3.5. In fact in my project files i see v3.5.

So whats with this? Why cant i run it?

-edit- The application crashes on double click. With no exception dialog.

Ok i see the problem. Sorry guys :$. I hope this post serves as a reference to someone else. I completely forgot that my app uses SDL.NET and i am use to C++ telling me i have forgotten a DLL.

Answer 1

Try to catch exception with AppDomain.UnhandledException and log the StaccTrace it will make things more clear.
