Every compiled version beyond 7.5 has given me this error on start up, and the program would just quit, not even letting me go into the Choose Database screen (see error below). It looks like it has something to do with the tooth chart.
OS: windows server 2008 R2.
When I copy over the newly compiled execs to overwrite whatever is in the good execs (v7.5) some files in there allowed me to go past the Choose Database screen, but then I got hit with the Systems Diagnostic Trace issue, which I haven't been able to figure out.
Jordan and team, do you have any pointers? Thanks

You mean you compiled it, right? You have to make sure that every project gets compiled. You then have to copy all the dlls from each project into the program folder where you will run it. It looks like you simply have the wrong version of the SparksToothChart.dll.

I have traced the startup error to the following missing files:

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll
Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll
Microsoft.DirectX.dll

After copying those 3 files from v7.5, the startup error is gone. However, the DiagnosticTrace error pops up. I've turned off all Trace as you suggested to no avail. So now I'm suspecting those 3 files above are causing the DiagnosticTrace error as well, possibly because they are an older copy?

Can you please clearly state whether you are compiling it or not? If so, are you aware of the Required dlls folder in the source code? A very basic part of installation is to copy all those dlls into your application folder. So I'm confused why you would have been missing those three dlls. Aren't you already copying them from the Required dlls folder?

Sorry, yes I am compiling. At one point I did include those required dlls in the main app dir (been a long time, so I forgot). I guess those dlls have since changed. Let me try that out. Thanks

Yes, they change constantly.

Installing .Net framework v3.5 or 4 will most probably solve the trace error on start up, try it!
