Here is the .vbproj of the test app I created to see if it will work on the new pc:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> <PropertyGroup> <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType> <TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework> <StartupObject>Sub Main</StartupObject> <UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms> <MyType>WindowsForms</MyType> </PropertyGroup> <ItemGroup> <Import Include="System.Data" /> <Import Include="System.Drawing" /> <Import Include="System.Windows.Forms" /> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <Compile Update="My Project\Application.Designer.vb"> <DesignTime>True</DesignTime> <AutoGen>True</AutoGen> <DependentUpon>Application.myapp</DependentUpon> </Compile> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <None Update="My Project\Application.myapp"> <Generator>MyApplicationCodeGenerator</Generator> <LastGenOutput>Application.Designer.vb</LastGenOutput> </None> </ItemGroup> </Project>

Here is the screenshot of my Nuget packages.

CodePudding user response：

try this

<dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="YourDllFile" publicKeyToken="b77a5c561934e089" culture="neutral" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-YourDllFileVersion" newVersion="YourDllFileVersion" />

set DeleteExistingFiles = true update all nugget packages and rebuild.

CodePudding user response：

I was able to solve this by going into my license.licx file and deleting all of the contents from the file.
