Hi Team,

I am working on Visual Studio 2022 on windows server 2016 machine. I have created a new .Net MAUI project, while running it( by selecting windows machine), getting below error -

dep0600: deployment failed. entrypointnotfoundexception - unable to find an entry point named 'iswow64guestmachinesupported' in dll 'kernel32.dll'. [0x80131523]

While searching for above error found below link which says that .Net MAUI app could run on Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1809 or higher, using Windows UI Library (WinUI) 3.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/supported-platforms

Does this means .Net MAUI apps (with windows machine selected) could run on Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1809 or higher, using Windows UI Library (WinUI) 3 and not on Windows server 2016.

Please let me know if any more information is needed.

Thanks,

Salil

    Hello,

    Does this means .Net MAUI apps (with windows machine selected) could run on Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1809 or higher, using Windows UI Library (WinUI) 3 and not on Windows server 2016.

    Yes, you cannot run your MAUI application to the windows server 2016, but you can run it in windows server 2019. Because MAUI for windows platform base on Windows UI 3 (WinUI 3) library. WinUI 3 supports windows server 2019.

    WinUI 3.0 will require a minimum Windows 10 version of 10.0.17134.0. On the desktop client, this is known as 1803, but this build did not ship a corresponding Windows Server version. The next Windows Server release was based on 17763, which was Windows Server 2019

    From Question: What Windows Server operating system is supported for WINUI 3?

    Best Regards,

    Leon Lu
