We are getting the following error in our .NET WinForms application after
using the app for a few minutes:
Setup error - failed to load resources from resource file. Please check
your setup.
We had a 6 hour test session yesterday in which we tried to break the
application in different scenarios, and we found some interesting things.
The application is a sales tool that we deploy to our sales force laptops,
and our new laptops that we are rolling out with our new version of the
application, are equipped with both a wireless card and a LAN card.
When either the LAN card or wireless card, or NEITHER of these are enabled,
the application seems to perform flawlessly.
Once we have BOTH connections open, we can consistently re-create several
low-level operating system blowouts including:
Memory read errors,
The above resource error message
Forms unloading spontaneously
Object not set to a reference...
We are using .NET 2003, framework 1.1 with service pack and latest hot fix
from Windows update against a local MSDE 2000 database.
We also noticed that there might be a correlation between quick database
access hits and the dual network connection issue, although we are not sure
how to test the theory since we can't seem to trap the error within the
application.
Before I open up a Microsoft support ticket, I wanted to check if anyone
else is having similar issues, and how we should proceed to find out what is
going on.
