.NET3.5

I have created an application in .net 3.5 using C# and WPF. I have also created a setup wizard of the same application. The setup when installed on Windows XP runs fine.
But when the same is executed on Windows 7, the setup succeeds in installation but fails to start . It shows an error message stating unable to start the application.

I have also installed the required dependencies for the software on Windows 7. still the problem persists.

Can anybody help me??
Thanks...

What is the error message you get?

Check the event viewer to see if it has any specifics as to why your application failed to start.

Some applications are not compatible in Windows 7, but in Win XP.
Try to find out if .Net 3.5 is compatible with Windows7 and then try it.

Why finding it out? Yes, .NET 3.5 is compatible, but application may not. Incorrect answer.

Are you storing the config file anywhere other than the user's app data folder?

Some applications may not be compatible to run in Windows 7.
Try running the exe in Windows XP compatible mode.

The error message could tell us more details. But try to disable the UAC [^]

Never EVER suggest disabling the UAC to solve this kind of problem.
