I’ve already created a Wpf application on .NET8.0 and now I want to create a Windows installer with it.
I want the Windows installer to be a standalone application without having to install .NET dependencies after the application is installed. To create the installer I used WiX toolset (The latest version). The problem is:
The windows installer doesn’t offer to install the .exe but only the .dll which isn’t an executable by the way. I used the WiX Setup Editor to edit the installer file more easily, except that I can’t find any .exe or .config file in the files to be installed.
In the app properties, I have the output type set to Windows Application.
I’ve been at it for about 2 days without finding anything.
Thank you in advance.
If you need more info, don’t hesitate.
I have tried to add manually the .exe but the app after install don’t work. Just do nothing.
