I succedded running windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.7-win-x64.exe and it run the maui .exe
This is ultimately not related to .NET MAUI and is most certainly not a .NET MAUI bug. I recommend opening a discussion on the Windows dev Q&A.
It is a consequence of choosing to build an unpackaged WinUI3 app. You need to ensure the target environment has the necessary runtime. You can find the information in the article you’ve already shared https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/deploy-unpackaged-apps#chain-the-windows-app-sdk-installer-to-your-apps-setup
Here are some relevant Q&A sites:
You might also want to try StackOverflow or the Windows Dev Discord. Just remember to be precise when asking your questions, you’re not asking for help with .NET MAUI… you’re “looking for guidance on deploying an unpackaged WinUI3 app in an environment that does not have the required runtime available.”
