The issue with the .NET Framework 4.8 executable file.
After I've written the file, I can open it in the exe within the debug environment. Why can't I open the exe file separately on the desktop, or when I place the entire debug folder on the desktop? How can I resolve this?

- Hi,
Can you put the error message you are getting? It will help to understand more clearly.
But based on this I think the following may cause the issues
1. Missing Dependencies: Copy all necessary DLLs and resource files and your executable to the target location.
2. Relative Paths: If your application relies on relative file paths, these paths might differ when running the executable from a different location.
3. Configuration Files: If your application uses configuration files (e.g., app.config or web.config), make sure that these files are present in the same directory as the executable.
4. Runtime Permissions: Run the executable as an administrator if it requires elevated privileges, or adjust file permissions as needed.
5. Debug vs. Release Configuration: Change the build configuration to "Release" before building your application for distribution.
