Hi,
what might be wrong here as when I'm trying to publish a small application using SF - but not SqlServer - I get the following error

TIA,

Kari

Does that error manifest itself when the application first runs? or during the install?

Hi,

I believe that I found the reason for this message. For what ever reason I had in VS->Publish some SQLServer dll's listed as "Prerequisite" files. Removing those and the installation works ok.

Cheers,

Kari

Glad to hear it... many of the install programs seem to think that those DLLs must be included in the install, but they're only used by the Connection String Manager, so you can leave them off unless you need the CSM.
