I am getting this error when I try to run the UWP application exe file. I have tried to install the files manually, I have updated the visual studio, I have also updated the .Net Framework on my machine. I also checked the path where the file lies its there from the beginning but still, I can not run the UWP exe file. below are the reference links I have tried to fix the issue.

Installing SharedLibrary

Microsoft forum

download .Net framework

msdn forum

Please find below screenshots of the errors

SharedLibrary.dll error

mrt100_app.dll error

It's just a basic UWP app which only has a button on the main page.

I hope I get the answer soon. I really need to resolve this.

TIA

    Hello, when you install a UWP application, please open it from the start menu instead of running the exe file directly in the folder. If the same error occurs, please try the following: 1. Update your system to the latest version. 2. Find your version of Visual Studio in **Visual Studio Installer**, click **Modify**, and in the detailed information on the right, check "Universal Windows Platform Development" to check whether you have installed the SDK of the required version of the application. – Richard Zhang Nov 04 '20 at 01:33
  • Hi @RichardZhang-MSFT I have tried this thing as well and also tried to locate both the files on the machine. The files are there on the machine but still, it gives me the same error over and over again. – Roshni Gandhi Nov 09 '20 at 12:51
  • Hello, have you tried to reinstall Visual Studio and install it in the default path? – Richard Zhang Nov 09 '20 at 12:56
  • hello, @RichardZhang-MSFT yes I have tried doing that which did not work. – Roshni Gandhi Dec 11 '20 at 11:49

You either need to "Deploy" the app (Build -> Deploy), useful to run it directly on the current machine outside of VS, or you need to publish it (right click on project, Publish -> Create app packages), useful to create a .msixbundle (or equivalent) that you can deploy using Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 (or equivalent).
