You don't need the build folder.

Is any app log file generated when you run the .exe?

I most of the time generate two exe's one using the windows option and 
the other using the console option.

In a case like yours I would then try to run the console option on the 
Win 7 machine from a cmd.exe window.  Hopefully you will see better/more 
meaning full error.

How did this go for you?  Could you build this little test script on 
your XP machine and then run it on your Win 7 machine?
