Hi @edandersen, Thank you for the sample! I'm having trouble when I tried to run the winForm.exe on another PC. I have already copied the whole debug / release folder. It throws System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException on execute and the directory is still pointing to the project folder.

WinForm. When running BlazorWinFormsApp.exe on another PC,
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: D:\blazor-desktop-crossplatform-sample-master\src\BlazorWinFormsApp\wwwroot\

Update: i tried publish, it now throws System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified.

Say I have 2 pcs, PC A is my laptop I use it to code. PC B is a remote PC I use it to debug.
I encountered the similar problem. I tried to use remote debug to run the "output" from a remote PC B. But it seems that the program is still expected "wwwroot" on PC A.

[Built using .net7 sdk using visual studio 2022]
@edandersen First of all, great and impressive example!

I am experiencing the same problem.

I built a release version of BlazorWinFormsApp on my PC. Runs & Works great.

I wanted to try running this BlazorWinFormsApp on another PC.
so I copied & moved the release folder to another PC and run BlazorWinformsApp.exe.
It says System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException on execute.
What can I try to make this work?

You should take a look at MAUI, it's actually supported by MS and has a Blazor view control.

True, but it seems that MS didn't provide any configuration we can touch to change this default behavior. That's a reason I stopped playing with blazor. MS always act like this. No wonder people don't like it.

Got it to work.

Oh? What was the secret?

I used a powershell to publish

cd into BlazorWinFormsApp
dotnet publish -f net6.0-windows --sc -r win-x64

then moved the publish folder to another PC and turns out it works!
I had to install webview2 runtime on this other PC that I am trying to run the application in
(I didn't realize I was using older version of Windows 10 which was missing webview2 runtime)

@edandersen Thank you for this awesome template that I can start my project with!

Nice one! I'll probably add that to the readme
