I am using the Publish function within Visual Studio 2013 to deploy an application to a server.

When I run the setup.exe it generates, I get a "Cannot Start Application" error. I have tried a number of things to resolve the issue, including:

Any ideas?

Below is the complete paste from the "Details..." file:

  • Does this server have the same version of .NET installed that you developed this application with? – mituw16 Mar 31 '14 at 19:43
  • The development machine has the following "Microsoft .NET Framework" versions installed (under Control Panel - Programs and Features): 4.5 Multi-Targeting Pack; 4.5 SDK; 4.5.1; 4.5.1 Multi-Targeting Pack; 4.5.1 Multi-Targeting Pack (ENU); 4.5.1 SDK. The server machine had these versions installed: 4 Multi-Targeting Pack; 4.5. I ran Windows Update on the server and installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1. So now the 2 versions on the server are: 4 Multi-Targeting Pack and 4.5. Under Project/Settings/Application, Target Framework is 4.5. Even after installing 4.5.1, it's still not working. – nowresearch Apr 01 '14 at 18:02
  • VS2013 builds to .NET 4.5.1 by default, which your server may not have. Try going back to your application and changing the version of .NET you are compiling for. – mituw16 Apr 01 '14 at 18:04
  • Currently the app is set to target .NET Framework 4.5. Now that I have 4.5.1 installed on the server, should I change to target .NET Framework 4.5.1? If I select that, I get a warning that "Changing Target Framework may require manual modification of project files in order to build." – nowresearch Apr 01 '14 at 18:06
  • I changed the target to .NET 4.5.1, and still getting the same issue. – nowresearch Apr 02 '14 at 20:37
