I have developed a computer based version of a {*filter*} table game for a
company and am having difficulty testing the program on Windows 98 and
ME systems.

Everything installs OK including dotnetfx.exe but when I run my
program I get the error:

Unhandled Exception
Argument 'Length' must be greater than or equal to zero

This happens only on computers running 98 or ME.  My program runs fine
on 2000 and XP systems.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Regards
Rob

Hello Robert,

Maybe there is a bug in your code. Add exception handlers to every
procedure and catch the exceptions.

Robert,

If you use a debug build you will be able to get more information regarding
the place where the exception occur (i.e. the code file and line number).

Now, depending on whether the error is in your code (highest probability) or
MS's .NET framework, the solutions are different (either fix your code, or
try an alternative way of obtaining what you want).

Mike.

Thank you for the excellent replies to my original posting.  I added
some debug code to my program and found that the function that returns
the path to the application folder when run on Windows 2000 or XP
returns the exact path e.g. C:\Program Files\Innervations\GrandSlam\
but when run on Windows ME or 98 the path is all uppercase.  The
result is that the system reported an unhandled exception trying to
open a file with the incorrect path.
