Programming a simple GUI

Hi everyone,

A long time ago, I created a product submit forum so that our company could easily send me information on what products should be added or removed to our website. It was made in C#.

Since we haven't used the program yet (The website is still waiting to go live), the program has been sitting around, and I've lost the sourcecode (Windows crashed, lost my Visual Studio express project files), and the current .exe I have doesn't work properly.

What the program does is have the user fill out a simple form, then e-mails the contents of said form to me. Attached is a photo of the entry forum. I'm planning on creating a newer more revised version of the program, and I'm wondering if I should do it in C# or something else. C# was working initially, but I've had a lot of problems with the Visual studio express (and for some reason, I can't get Visual Studio working). The target platform for the application is Windows.

My question is, is there a better suited language to program this in (ex. Quicker to build, easier to maintain, no need to install additional frameworks on machines)? I'm thinking perhaps C++ and a toolkit such as Qt, but would that be more difficult and time consuming?

Thanks all
