Hey,

When I try to publish my project through ClickOnce, it always get the error messages:

Error 16 Cannot publish because a project failed to build. 1 1 WinUi
Error 47 Could not find file 'obj\Release\PhotoArtDecoClient.WinUi.exe'. WinUi

If I check the folder, then I see that there is no exe file.
When I build the solution, then there is a exe file.

Hi flashbeir,

I don't understand the first error. The second error I think you can change the VS mode to "Release" then build your project(not publish, but right click solution to "Rebuild Solution"). After that "obj\Release\PhotoArtDecoClient.WinUi.exe" should appear under your solution folder.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
