Win7(64-bit) err:Windows is checking for a solution to the problem!

[Antzz]

Hello Everyone,
I have a winforms application (barebones) that I developed using VS2008/.Net2.0/WinXP. This is intended to be a prototype. The application also uses interop to communicate with a couple of legacy COM components. Everything works fine.

When I copy the files over to Win7/64-bit and execute the application, I get a message box saying - "<exename> has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem...". The message window disappears in about 30 seconds without any further information.

I checked the event viewer and saw the error message:
Fault bucket , type 0
Event Name: CLR20r3
Response: Not available
Cab Id: 0


Any ideas on what is going on and what might be the solutions?

Thanks for all your help.

I'm sure you have already done this but..
Check the properties of the application an make sure the platform target on the build tab is either set to "Any CPU" or "X64".

Also that your target machine has the 2.0 framework installed. With all the service packs.

Yes _ was able to solve this. I had to set the target platform to 32-bit(explicitly) in the project properties page and it solved my issue.

Thanks for following up.
