Application is not getting opened after installing it with the installer created by “Visual studio installer”

Question

I have created setup file using visual studio 2017. When I installed it in my system it was installed properly and worked properly. But I am trying to install in some other system than set up gets installed properly but when user tries to open it then it does not opened.

When I checked it in event viewer it gives following error.

I got following error in event viewer(.Net runtime)

Answer 1

UPDATE: just some pointers:

• Please be aware of several limitations of Visual Studio Installer Projects.
• Maybe consider alternative tools.
• And a link to show the prerequisites view of VS Installer Projects.

Very common query that comes up all the time. Usually a lacking runtime or you have a bad configuration setting somewhere in your configuration files or registry settings. Here is one comment of late on similar issues.

Please check for the above mention issues first, then maybe have a look at the below checklists (linked, and some inlined keywords). Verify very basic runtime requirements such as .NET runtime, Visual C++ Runtimes and Java runtime requirements and similar, simple and fundamental runtimes first of all.

Just to inline the gist of it from the linked comment above:

• Debug common application launch problems (please do skim)
• Older version of the check list
• Tools for debugging (Visual Studio, ProcMon.exe (rudimentary sample), etc...).

Keywords: Missing Dependencies / Runtimes? (Java, .NET, etc...). Configuration Error? (pointing to UAT-server, etc...). Encoding? Licensing? Drivers? Bitness? Permissions? Privileges? Registry Registration? Authentication / Authorization? Lockdown? (security software, etc...)

Some Links:

• Visual Studio 2017 Installer Project - include VC++ 2015 Redistributable
• Additional Setup in Visual Studio Installer Projects

Answer 2

I resolved issue by looking the error log in Event viewer log file with the extension .Net Runtime. issue was some of the dev express supporitng file were missing. Need to deploy all Dls using devexpress deploy tool.
