Bill;

What I have been doing for a number of years is to use a “clean machine”. In my case I have one computer that is used only for testing completed applications. I wipe the hard disk and install the same operating system the user has (my own legal copy guys). I will then load the exe and start testing.

On my test machine I use removable trays so I can have several different operating systems loaded to test the application. You can do the same thing with your development machine, that is use removable trays and have a hard disk dedicated to testing. This removes what I term, “egg on face syndrome” by allowing you to deliver an application that works at the clients site rather then say, “It worked at the office”! :)
