Here's an update...

Don't know if this is a bug or what...

But I have made the Custom Application work on a Desktop License...

What i have found out is that there is nothing wrong in the codes but in the Ax Controls...

When i enable the Preview in Design Mode the applications in looking for the Developers Kit License...

But when it is disabled the application will run...

Hope this can help others with the same problem...

Thanks for answering Brent... how can i give you the point? 🙂

Thanks again brent...

will try to install other frameworks to the pc to see if the problem will be resolved...

and will also try putting only ESRI.ArcGIS.RuntimeManager.Bind(ESRI.ArcGIS.ProductCode.EngineOrDesktop)
ESRI.ArcGIS.RuntimeManager.BindLicense(ESRI.ArcGIS.ProductCode.EngineOrDesktop)

in the licenseinitializer and see what will happen...

but is it really possible to run a application built in ArcGIS Engine Development Kit to run in a Desktop License only?

I almost looks like a Microsoft problem.   If you can't catch the error, you should be able to locate the offending line by peppering the code with message boxes.  It may not even make it to the ESRI code.

If you are not binding you should get a prettier error message:  "ArcGIS version not specified.  You must call RuntimeManager.Bind before creating any ArcGIS components."  or

"Failed to bind to an ArcGIS Engine runtime.  Ensure the specified runtime is installed before running this application".

The message on PC2 would tell me that you used to have a valid license for it, but the license has timed out.  PC1 and 3 almost sound like DotNet Framework errors.

Also there is an ESRI.ArcGIS.ProductCode.EngineOrDesktop option so you shouldn't have to individually check for both.

The following has always been sufficient for me:
            
ESRI.ArcGIS.RuntimeManager.Bind(ESRI.ArcGIS.ProductCode.EngineOrDesktop);
ESRI.ArcGIS.RuntimeManager.BindLicense(ESRI.ArcGIS.ProductCode.EngineOrDesktop);
