Windows forms app copied from Release/bin folder to another folder does not run.

[Guest]

I have a C# forms app that accesses an Oracle database. When 'Release' built, it runs fine from the folder that it's built into but if I copy the app's .exe and .dlls to another folder it fails with the Oracle TNS error, ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name

Anybody have any ideas why this might happen

Thank

Nick Moor

is there some other file (oracle config file?) in the directory with the
bin?

No, just the .exe and a handful of .dll files. The oracle configuration files (tnsnames, etc) are in their own folder

Do you need to register any of the copied DLLs using regasm?

Hi

As I understand it, I would only need to register the DLLs using RegAsm if I were going to access any of my classes from COM clients, which I don't think I am, the whole application is pure .NET.
