Hi,
I just installed the about most recent version (from like two days
ago) of mgnat from
http://www.usafa.af.mil/dfcs/bios/mcc_html/a_sharp.html
and took all the actions mentioned as being necessary in
section "To use A#, you need the following" on the said
website.

However, I'm not able to run any of the pre-compiled
exe's ... when I launch, for example, test_task.exe from
the test subdirectory, I first get a message telling me
the application had caused an exception that could not
be handled, then I get the following debug output:

What does this mean?
Same applies to all exe's, also rapid.exe in the rapid.net
folder of the rapid download package, which was pointed
to on the A# website.

Funnily, as soon as I compile the respective source file
(most will, just a few files seem to be missing for some ...?!),
I can start the exe and it runs as expected ... however, that
cannot be the right way to do it for I'd have to distribute
the source code of my A# applications and have users
compile them like this ...

I'm using Win XP Home SP 2 and I've got the .NET Runtimes
installed (Versions 1.0.3705 and 1.1.4322).

TIA
