Suddenly not able to open application

[razz]

I'm sorry, by mistake I posted this topic at the end of topic "Users having a problem installing my program". Sorry for any confusion.

I've been running a program I developed for about a week with no problems. I discovered that one button was not working and therefore fixed the problem in VB 2008 and then I re-published my program. I checked it last night and it was working with no problems.

Today I went to open my application and an error message informed me that it is not able to open. When I click details a long note appears and I have no idea what to do to fix the problem. Below please see the first part of the note. At the bottom it reads "The referenced assembly is not installed on your system." I cannot understand how it was working last night and not today, plus just fixing a button problem surely should not cause a problem like not being able to open the application. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I found a way to work around it. I copied 3 files (i.e. the .exe, .pdb and .vshost.exe files) into my folder and then created a desktop shortcut to the .exe file. I know it may not be the proper fix, but this worked fine.
