C# App Crashing During Execute On Alternate Machine.
I am currently trying to complete an application which uses a file Rooms.cfg to store various configuration details for my app.
I have tested my app and it works fine when Running it through Debug>Start Debugging (F5), or when I publish and run it from my local machine. However, as soon as I try and take the same publication files, and install it on another machine, the application crashes when I try to write to the file. It gives me a "Rooms.cfg is already in use and can not be written to".
I understand the error, but why would it only appear on other machines and not my own?
Here is a paste of the error it throws:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Thank you for any insight.
