I have a winforms application in visual studio that I used the wix installer extension to create a .msi for. When I run the installer it creates a folder for the app in my program files x86 folder with the .exe in it, and it runs just fine. However, when I run the .msi on my virtual machine it creates the folder and the .exe, but when I click on the .exe file the application doesn't work. I had some other people test the .msi on their own local computers and they had the same result. How can I fix this?

VCRedist, .NET, .NET Core, Java, Direct X, etc...Python, DBMS systems (PostgreSQL, MSSQL, etc...)IIS, MSMQ - Message Queue, Powershell, etc...Missing Files: There could also be missing files of other kinds - settings and various special cases. Here are some long debugging ideas lists:
