Description

I put the Fixed Version Runtime onto a USB flash drive for a simple application. It worked first time and then failed next time (The exactly same copy works well on a non-removable drive). When it fails, the program does not respond. I need to use Task Manager to close it. Please give some instructions for this issue.
