I'd like to create an executable for my VB.net project that interact with Catia V5.

Using the "build" function of Visual Studio, it creates a folder \bin\Debug with a .exe file, the file do open without any problem on the machine where I coded it, but if I send the debug folder to my second computer, nothing pops up when I click on the .exe file.

I also tried to click on the file named "WindowsApp1.application", a prompt ask me if I want to install the app but once I click on yes I get an error that looks kind of like this "Unable to download the app. Files are missing for the application. For assistance, contact the application vendor."

I don't know if the problem comes from here, but the app is using .NET Framework 4.7.2, and my second computer has .NET Framework 4.8, I didn't manage to downgrade to 4.7.2 to see if it would change something.

The problem was that Catia V5 was not open on my second computer, it would then crash instantly (same behavior on the original computer). To fix that I added some kind of "check" in the code with a pop-up text asking to open Catia first.
