Did you see any error messages ? if so please post them here.
Did the computer have the correct .NET framework installed (you can see this under uninstall programs)

Have a look in the Event log to see if there are any clues

Add logging to your code. Also, update the title to something useful and relevant.

What language did you write the application in (C++, C#, etc.)? Did the client run the executable by double clicking on it in Explorer or using a command line (CMD.EXE)?

If there are missing libraries, you may not get an error to show in the GUI if you just double clicked on the executable in Explorer. Try running CMD.EXE and start the executable from there. Then look for error messages on the command line. My bet is that the client does not have the runtime library installed on their system.

Note: Be sure to test this on a system that DOES NOT have Visual Studio (or whatever programming environment you use) installed. This will make sure that you don't have the libraries (DLLs) included with the programming environment.
