Hi,
We are installing our app in a customers network. The app is using ADO.NET
with .NET Framework 1.1. DB is MSDE. The clients is running Win XP, 2000, ME
and NT 4.0. The app is installed on the server and when we start it from the
workstations is runs fine on the XP workstations but not on the 2000 and NT
4.0 workstations, where we get the following error message:
MyApp.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled...

Is there a specific installation program for win 2000 and another for XP?

I am at the customers site right now so if anybody has an idea it would be
very nice to have it fast!
 
Hi,

You are probably experiencing either security problems (app run from network
drive is restricted) or missing components on client computer (mdac?).
 
Thanks Miha!

Security wise we have done exactly the same on all the workstations in the
network, so if we dont have to set up Win2000 machines differently than the
XP machines it may not be the case. If the secutiry is not set for the
network drive the app crashes at startup, but on the Win2000 maschines it
crashes at database logon.

How can i assure that mdac is not missing?
