title: VS2010 Connection Dialog GAC Error in Windows XP
body: <p>All,</p>
  
  <p>I am using the VS2010 database connection dialog that Microsoft have released (<a href="http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/Connection" rel="nofollow noreferrer">download from here</a>). I am using this without any problems on Windows 7. However, when I install the application on Windows XP (using the 'Publish' option in VS2010) I get the following error</p>

  <p>Using NSIS, the application installs but upon trying to launch the VS2010 dialog I get the following error</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/O1Ww2.png" alt="Runtime Error"></p>
  
  <p>Clearly the first error is telling me what the problem is, but as I have never come across this before I am not sure what I can do to address/fix it. Could this be associated with not using the manifest correctly?</p>
  
  <p>As always any help is most appreciated.</p>
