.exe wont run outside of Build Folder even when using Fody?

Question is in title would love to get some help on this as I am confused as shi since it used to work before

it runs only when in the build folder but outside of it no which makes sharing the .exe hard

Are you depending on a configuration file that isn't in the same place as the exe?

not really no the app kind off opens i can see the Bunifu Snackbar Notifications but it doesnt open completely and eventually closes itself i guess also it created the config on my second pc which makes me think it opens but something i guess stops it

So if you copy all the files out of the folder to a new location it doesn't open?

rohnaldinoOP•4d ago

nope LOL it used to work with the .exe alone but even with all the files outside of the build folder it wont open

Do you have the code in a repo somewhere?

rohnaldinoOP•4d ago

not really no

Mayor McCheese•4d ago

It sounds like you're depending on a relative path somewhere What happens when it force closes?

rohnaldinoOP•4d ago

:HMM:

        private void LoadCharacterIcons()
        {
            string resourceFolderPath = Path.Combine(Directory.GetParent(Application.StartupPath).Parent.FullName, "Resources", "dbd");

            foreach (var file in Directory.GetFiles(resourceFolderPath, "*.png"))
            {
                string fileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file).ToLower();
                System.Drawing.Image characterImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(file);
                characterIcons[fileName] = characterImage;
            }
        }

        private void LoadCharacterIcons()
        {
            string resourceFolderPath = Path.Combine(Directory.GetParent(Application.StartupPath).Parent.FullName, "Resources", "dbd");

            foreach (var file in Directory.GetFiles(resourceFolderPath, "*.png"))
            {
                string fileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file).ToLower();
                System.Drawing.Image characterImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(file);
                characterIcons[fileName] = characterImage;
            }
        }

It happens It's a bit odd that it just shuts down with no errors though.

rohnaldinoOP•4d ago

Real Thats what I‘m saying normally it would show the error

Mayor McCheese•4d ago

that's part of why I'm asking if it's in a remote repo somewhere like github.
