Instant startup crash :(

Win7 32-bit.

Probably of no help to you but whatever. Maybe the exception code could be useful? It's an access violation error. One of your pointers fouling up eh?

We have had issues with building a release version that will work on non-development computers, I personally cannot test the issue since I do not have another windows computer :/ Maybe it is C++ redistributable? Thanks for the quick response

Anything special about your project that might be a cause?
Have you tried to run the compiled exe directly instead of running from inside your compiler?
Is the release build exactly the same as the debug build except stuff like debugging and optimization and other non-relevant stuff?

Vista has some things that WinXP does not (A later .netframewok version, DX10, etc) Maybe one of these are needed?

That's what I was thinking, but would you know how to go about fixing those without needed to install things on my teacher's computer? The school frowns upon that...
but yeah thanks for the reply :D

First, you need to find out whats missing. You may be able to just simply include a dll in your release and it works, but check on the legality of that first.

It is the RELEASE build and not the DEBUG build right? I'm pretty sure that VC++ has it setup so that Debug builds aren't meant to run on other computers...

Its release, and I've got the DLLs that make it work on vista and win7, and I can't find any references for WinXP so yeah... IDK
