Application could not be started

When I try to start the programm I get this error message:

I installed the Windows App SDK 1.2 from the website and rebooted. Is there another requirement or is this the wrong version?

I use Windows Server 2019.

Might be similar to #29, try a similar workaround from there and see how it goes.

I tried to install the older version and then the newer version but I still get the same message :(

I went and grabbed a Windows Server 2019 iso and was able to get it working...

Looks like you may need to enable sideloading because the DDLM component fails to install by default, also make sure you install from admin context.

Try this first, then if necessary install the redist from the zip link below:

• Settings
• Search "Developer settings"
• Enable "Developer mode"
• Reinstall the redist, I didn't have to uninstall to install again on top
• If necessary, you can try https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/1.2/1.2.221209.1/Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Redist.1.2.zip

Then I was able to run without issue:

While testing this tool I ran into the exact same issue.
Adding this line under propertygroup: "WindowsAppSDKSelfContained>true</WindowsAppSDKSelfContained" to the .csproj file resolved the issue for me.
