I have tried to create an .exe file to my WPF App and SQL Server related databse with EF Core using Windows Setup Installer Project.
I included all the dll's files from /bin/Release and built it for any CPU. The Setup Project has been created successfully and it worked on my PC as I expected.
Otherwise when I try to install the Setup File on another PC, I can't even open it up and see what's wrong.
I guess the problem comes from the database but I can't find anything helpful on the internet.

So you get the application installed, run it and nothing happens, right? Here is what you do:
- Run it. Watch nothing happen
- Hit the Windows key and type "Event"
- When "Event Viewer" appears in the list of applications, run it
- In Event Viewer, go to
Windows Logs >> Application
Near the top there will probably be an error entry. It will probably be related to your application. And if you were missing a key file needed to run your application, like a DLL, the name of the file will probably be in there in the details section
- Go back to your installer and add that missing file. Or if that file is part of some support package (like, say, MS Redistributable for Visual C ) then add the installer for that too.
