I need to release an application that:
- must not be installed
- must not involve the installation of dependencies for its execution if they are not installed on the PC in use (no versions of C , versions of .net Framework, etc ...).
For this purpose I made the application in .NET 5.0 and published it according to the settings visible in the image.
In the settings I specify the Self-Contained property.
Running the application on Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 I have no problems but on Windows 7 I have a .NET Runtime ID 1023 error as in the image.
What could be the problem? How should I publish the application so that I don't need to install anything?

Unfortunately Windows 7 SP1 is supported only with Extended Security Updates installed. The same statement also applies to net6.
I managed to get it to work (with net6) by installing those updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog:
- Windows6.1-KB3063858-x64.msu
- Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu
- Win7AndW2K8R2-KB3191566-x64.zip
this is Windows Management Framework 5.1
- Microsoft Visual C 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) - 14.29.30135
In addition, in some installation, I had to also install PowerShell v7.2.1 .
I was unable to run the application on a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1 in any way.
