.NET french locale issues

Question

I have an application that I have written in C# .NET which runs fine in an English version of Windows 7 but when it is deployed in a French version it simply crashes. Also I have tried switching the locale of the Developement and test PC to france but I am unable to reproduce the problem.

I suspect it has something to do with the resources but I made sure all the UI strings and such were created using the resource editor and so I thought it would default to English as a built in type if the other language files weren't present (maybe my assumption is wrong).

The application makes use of the win32 interface for communicating with an HID USB device and also uses the third party library ZedGraph for graphing some data.

If anyone has any ideas no what the problem might be or how to go about finding the problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

what about the bit-ness of Windows7: 32bit or 64 bit? is your application explicitly targeted to x86? Are the USB device drivers and ZedGraph installed on both machines (and in the same versions)? And do you see some entries in the event log?
Can you set CurrentUICulture by e.g. an entry in the .exe.config file?
