I am writing an application in C# under .NET 2.0. There are two parts
to this app, a service and gui. After finishing the program I tested
it on the same machine that I programmed it on and it worked fine.

However, I tried to test it on another machine also running XP pro and
it the service would fail to load and enter the following entry in the
event logs:

EventType clr20r3, P1 kidpatrol client.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 4429b49d, P4
kidpatrol client, P5 1.0.0.0, P6 4429b49d, P7 2c, P8 7, P9
system.io.fileloadexception, P10 NIL.

I have no clue what this means and I can't find any information that
would tell me why a service wouldn't start for this reason.

The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is the fact that
Visual Studio 2005 is not installed on the machine the error is
happening on, but is on the machine it works on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Patrick
