Hi,
Maui app as exe - throw exception when installing on new machine.
This the message I got:
What do we miss ?
I used following command to publish application to exe.
dotnet publish -f net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0 -c Release -p:WindowsPackageType=None -p:WindowsAppSDKSelfContained=true /p:PackageCertificateThumbprint="c01ba45666762f3615cf6813aeb4dc4b1919541d" -p:RuntimeIdentifierOverride=win10-x64 --self-contained
I'm using vs 2022 professional Version 17.13.0
maui 9.0.30
And get following error.
I tested on new window 10:Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 and it works, without .NET desktop runtime 9
Thanks,

the WindowsAppRuntime is the runtime support WinUI 3. it works with C++ or .net:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/winui/winui3/
Normally your app installer would install this runtime when it installed the application.
How my app installer could test if this runtime is exists or not using installshield.
for the standard visual studio publish it must be a self contained app.
The installer is not downloaded it install immedtially. I need the installer to add to my process of installtion ,how is done?
As your previous link, you use dotnet publish -f net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0 -c Release -p:WindowsPackageType=None -p:WindowsAppSDKSelfContained=true /p:PackageCertificateThumbprint="c01ba45666762f3615cf6813aeb4dc4b1919541d" -p:RuntimeIdentifierOverride=win10-x64 **-p:PublishTrimmed=true** to publish your application, Please add --self-contained CLI flag with above publish command line. And test it again.
By the way, if you have additional information that need to be added. Please update your Main question.
To add --self-contained and it will installl the WindowsAppRuntimes in maui publish folder?
Dani_S I tested to add --self-contained in the publish command line, And I copy published File in bin\Release\net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0\win10-x64\publish\. And test it in win 10 machine. Click the exe, it will run it normally without install other content. By the way, if you add --self-contained, compared with the original publish file, it increases by about 70MB.
By the way, if you have additional information that need to be added. Please update your Main question.
Are you sure is not working I add to the comand --self-contained
Please see, your quick answer will be appreciated.
Yes, it works in my side. Can you compare released folder size between add --self-contained and without --self-contained. Make sure you installed the released application that add --self-contained
I do not have library win10-64 self-contained the other i have
They used it for comparison. Please make sure you are generated and installed correct application. You can distinguish them by the size of the released folder
win10-64 self-contained is a released folder that generated by adding --self-contained.
win10-x64 is a released folder that generated without --self-contained.
If I installed application from win10-x64, I would get the same result, it will pop up a window to install .NET desktop runtime.
If I install application from win10-64 self-contained, it can run it without installing other content.
Please see it not generate this folder win10-64 self-contained

I'm using vs 2022 professional Version 17.13.0
maui 9.0.30
Is connected to my vs version ? Your quick answer will be appreciated.
I use VS 17.13.4, Please copy the folder of win10-x64 to tested PC, then open the folder, find your application's exe file to install it. Do you get the pop up a window to install .NET desktop runtime. If you get it, install .NET desktop runtime, do you get windowappRuntime.dll exception like the main question. 
If you have additional information that need to be added. Please update your Main question.
Please see:
https://app.screencast.com/s8MLnVFL4hRI0
i tested both publish + win10-x64 to tested PC and get windowappRuntime.dll exception like the main question.
.NET desktop runtime 9 installed in my computer , is needed ?
Waiting for your answer ?
Can you share a demo with us that I can reproduce this issue?
In contarry ,I run this app at home and it works without .NET desktop runtime 9 installed in my computer.
I do not need .NET desktop runtime 9, is it ?
The problematic machine has old version of windows.
Now IT make me new windows 10 computer.
I give you results in 10 minutes.
My tested device is window 10 Pro version 22H2 OS build 19045.5608
I tested on new window 10:Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 and it works, without .NET desktop runtime 9 is it by design?.
I see it add in publish folder:
runtimes folder + Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.dll, it add more file or folders ?
What is your previous computer version?
We can compare versions of these two computers to find the differences. I update your question with additional information from above comments. If you have something to added, you can update your main question as well.
The IT deleted it. The problem was that the former comouter do not have all windows updates.
We can close the ticket.

A third party machine will need to have the same version .NET Runtime and any dependencies installed there.
or you can choose to compile down to a ‘self contained’ application, with bundled runtime.
see:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/#publish-self-contained
You mean --self-contained
You mean self-contained.
Yeah. I do that when deploying a .NET app to my Raspberry Pi
