I have made a .NET MAUI application using Blazor. And I want to export my application to share with my client. So I want to give them an .exe file with the app to run in windows. How can I do it? I'm using VS 22

I tried to publish the app but the file is in other extension file type

Maui is deployed as an MSIX file, not as an exe. So that it can install needed dependencies:

.NET MAUI currently only allows publishing an MSIX package. You can't yet publish a Windows executable file for distribution.

Note that an MSIX file is always an "install" action. It isn't currently possible to deploy something that can be run without installation.
