Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

In theory, if your project is unpackaged, you can use InstallSheild, which is essentially a compression and decompression process.
The relevant documentation on winui3 deployment is here.

Windows App SDK deployment guide for framework-dependent MSIX-packaged apps
Windows App SDK deployment guide for framework-dependent non-MSIX-packaged apps

Yes, I can run normally. It may be that the machine you deploy does not have a complete environment, you can refer to the following link to install the environment.

Unfortunately, because of Q&A forum policy, I can't share this type of file.
In my installation project, almost all settings are default, and all program files are copied in, then build->Run->Release Wizard.
My winui3 unpackaged project was also created according to the VS template without any changes.
If you still have questions about the use of InstallSheild, I suggest you go to Revenera Community for consultation.
Thank you.
