Hi,
I have recently received a new laptop and will need to hand back my older laptop. I have copied a project from Visual Studio 2019 on the old PC onto the new PC. Everything works when run from the IDE (and even if I locate the .exe and run it). However, when I publish the application and install the published application, there are some functions that do not work.
How can I track down what is wrong/missing? I assume that it is to do with some DLLs/controls that have not been included in the published application.
I'm sure it will be something really obvious, but I just cannot find it.
Please help,
Pete

Hi @Peter Walburn ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Did you try to move the whole solution folder to the new PC? Do those functions work on the old PC if you publish the application on the old PC?
This issue looks to be more specific, could you please share more information with us to check further(perhaps share us a minimal reproducible sample)?
Regards,
Tianyu
I did copy the whole solution folder to the new PC. If the application is published from the old PC, it does work on all PCs, but if published from the new PC it doesn't work on other PCs (just on the new PC).
I suspect it is to do with the Crystal Reports runtime. On the old PC in the References tab of the properties, the Crystal Reports DLLs are in C:\Windows\Assembly\GAC_MSIL... but this folder does not exist on the new PC.

Hi,
Thought I'd let people know that this seems to be resolved.
I suspect that it has to do with the Crystal Reports runtime DLL. I've installed this on a PC that I've downloaded the latest version of the application onto and things seem to work now.
