We had the same problems on a few Windows XP PCs of a few of our customer: application crashes after Execution.
The solution was Microsoft Bug Fix (sorry I don’t know the exact fix number anymore, but it’s included in XP SP3).
May this is the solution:
- Install XP SP3
Or
- Try to run the app without the manifest file (rename it, and start your application)
Both were a solution for our problem.
Best regards.
