Hi,
I have been having problems with StrataFrame install on one dev. machine. It seems to be an issue specific to that machine only, as I am using SF on VPC and my laptop without any issues. But on the machine in question, I cant get SF install to complete successfully. Also when I try to run or install any SF applications, I get the same error. The error simply says "{Application name} has encountered a problem and needs to close... " :




I tried just about everything: reinstalled strataframe, ran different uninstall and registry/files cleaning utilities, made sure all SF assemblies, files are removed, etc., but nothing worked.  The next step I am considering is to rebuild this Dev. machine.

But before I do that, I wanted to give it one more shot:

I created a test SF application "Hello World" style app, I made all SF reference to use "Local Copy" assembly as opposed to GAC, and created Deployment package for it. I also included Source code in the deployment package.
Then I ran this deployment package on the dev. machine, it installed successfully. When I tried  to launch the app, I got that error, but I was able to go into the debug mode and see the line where it's failing and get detailed Exception info. I pasted all the relevant info below. Any ideas what is causing this error, and how to resolve it? Thanks for you help.

It fails on

"StrataFrameApplication.RunApplication();"
