MSI Installer Runs But App Doesn’t Launch

Hi there,
I’ve created an MSI installer using Advanced Installer. It installs without errors, but after completion, the application doesn’t launch either automatically or when I try running it from the Start Menu. No obvious errors are shown.

What are some common reasons this might happen? Could it be related to missing prerequisites, incorrect file paths, or something else I’m overlooking?minimal mehndi design

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Re: MSI Installer Runs But App Doesn’t Launch

Hello and welcome to our forums,

The most common reason for your application not running is a missing dependency.

It's strange that there isn't any error message, though.

I would advise checking the Event Viewer, you should see an error there thrown by your application.

Best regards,
