I have a winforms application in visual studio that I used the wix installer extension to create a .msi for. When I run the installer it creates a folder for the app in my program files x86 folder with the .exe in it, and it runs just fine. However, when I run the .msi on my virtual machine it creates the folder and the .exe, but when I click on the .exe file the application doesn't work. I had some other people test the .msi on their own local computers and they had the same result. How can I fix this?

Runtime Missing: This indicates relatively strongly that you have a missing runtime of some sort. Ensure your runtime is installed, and in the required version too:
- Common:
VCRedist,.NET,.NET Core,Java,Direct X, etc... - Specific:
Python,DBMS systems(PostgreSQL,MSSQL, etc...) - Windows Components:
IIS,MSMQ - Message Queue,Powershell, etc...
Missing Files: There could also be missing files of other kinds - settings and various special cases. Here are some long debugging ideas lists:
