Running .exe in pre execution environment

I am trying to run a vb .net 2005 executable file in the Windows Pre Execution Environment.
Tha application is very simple, it will show a form with 2 buttons, one button is exit, the other runs a shell command.
When i try to run the exe, absolutely nothing happens. The form is not displayed at all. Anyone know why? The app works fine in a normal windows environment.

Please help! :huh:

A Pre-boot Execution Environment? Windows uses what is called the .NET framework to run your form. You cannot run a form which uses the .NET environment when it hasn't even been loaded up...someone correct me if I'm wrong, though.

It's my understanding those buttons you have on the form, and even the form itself, use the framework to know how to draw them and do all their methods. If you're not in Windows AND do not have the correct framework your form requires, the application will/cannot run.

Reprogramming to VB6 and registering the correct .dll's during boot made the program runnable.
