Hi,

a lot of times someone installs my aplication and gets an
application initialization error, is there a method to intercept this
and give more details as to whats failed ?

obviously the handler cant be part of the c# .net application that is giving
the initialising error as its probably .net that isnt installed or setup
properly,
or it might be missing another dll.

thanks

is the error written to the system event log?

I dont know, thats actually a good question though,
it could provide some usefull information,
but even if it does it doesnt look very good if it just falls over with
a rather cryptic message, it would still require them contacting me
and me asking them to look, it would be preferable to
give a message on the screen when it failes initialization
stating that it couldnt find .net or some other dll or
that it isnt installed correctly

thanks
Colin
