application configuration is incorrect error using VB in VS2010

Question

I have recently downloaded and installed VS2010 evaluation copy. I loaded a VS2002 programme I have been working on and until today it compiled and ran fine. Now I get this error. "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start programme "c:\CreateF1Screens\bin\CreateF1Screens.exe.

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Review etc etc"

Done what it suggested - still errors.

Any ideas?

hi,

 

did you convert the source?

or you maybe check your References / Application Reference.

Also try "clean" and then "rebuild" your project. (in the build menu )

Check the project target framework, I think it uses .Net 1.0 as its target. Please ensure you have installed the .Net 1.0 in your machine. And if it is possible, I recommed you to upgrade this project to .Net 2.0 or 4.0 target.

Sincerely,

I ran into this recently.  There is something wrong in your app.config file.  Who knows what it is.  I opened MyProject and added a seeting on the settings tab.  This rewrote the app.config file, and my application started working.
