Hello.

I've developed a windows based application and published it on my computer. The application is working fine. When I copied the published files to hosting server, I'm getting an error. Please try to fix this issue.

Error:

" Application installation did not succeed. Cannot locate application files on the server. Contact the application vendor or your administrator for assistance "

Thanks,
Imtiyaz

Do you want to run your windows application in client desktop by calling it from server? or do you want to host your database on the server? Explain your objective or requirement clearly.

My application is a simple application without database.

you need to paste the full error message in here but remember ti disable the friendly error notification firs
t
so you can get the real full error message

C#

<customErrors mode="Off" />

For final release or in production mode

You should turn the customs Error to be On or RemoteOnly so Users can't see the real error message. You can set the default Redirect to point to some pages and you can write nice error message on your error.html page. Below is the customs Error tag that you should use on your

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="error.htm"/>
