File or assembly name not found...

[kristinac]

I had to make changes to a vb6 program for a customer. I converted the program into vb .net and made the changes. Now, my customer cannot run the program. He gets the error message:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll
Additional information: File or assembly name Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

I went to the Knowledge Base article

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834610,

and I gotta tell ya, I didn't really get it. I tried to follow what I was supposed to do, recompiled and sent it to the customer again. He still receives the same message.

I made sure he has the .Net framework. He has the 1.0 version, the service pack, and the 1.1 version installed. Today I suggested he uninstall the 1.1 and try running the program again, but I'm thinkin that's not going to work either.

I would SO appreciate any assistance...
Thanks!

How did you package it? As far as I know, Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility is not part of the Framework but must be part of the deployment package, unless your user has VB.Net installed. Did you create and run a Setup/Deloyment package? It is no5t enough jusy to send the EXE.
