APPLICATION HAS STOPPED WORKING

Question
-
Our team has developed a composite WPF application, MVVM architecture, targeting Framework 4.0, VS2012, VB.NET. We are using the Prism library. I have created an InstallShield Limited Edition Setup and Deployment Project for Windows install. For test I’ve limited the install to target a Win7 64 OS. I have all the prerequisites covered. The application works perfectly in development and when launched by double-clicking the .exe in the bin folder. The setup installs the app in the programs directory without error.
When the application is launched from the Start menu, the Window is displayed and after about 5 seconds I get the familiar ‘STOPPED WORKING’ dialog. Tried on development machine and VMware setup. Same result.
I’ve analyzed the memory dump and the dump created by ProcDump with the WinDbg tool and I’ve learned the issue is in the KERNALBASE!RaiseException procedure. Here is the full result:

There is plenty of chatter on KERNALBASE but nothing seems applicable here. Are there any ideas?

Hi ChuckMM,
It seems that it is not the correct forum for this issue.
I might not have the correct detailed answer you need, but I might lead you into the right direction to solve your problem.
To make sure that whether it is the setup file issue, since it is related to the InstallShield, you could post this issue to this forum:
http://community.flexerasoftware.com/forumdisplay.php?133-InstallShield
In addition, since you debug the dump file with WinDbg tool, if you really want to analyze it, you could post this issue to the windows debugger forum:

Belated thanks for the reply Jack.
I was able to workaround by doing the msi build with the old VS2010 installer template. Management pulled me off the InstallShield approach after burning about 32 hours. I would like to get this working so I will follow your suggestion, by posting my question on the forums you indicate, on my own time.
