Some file is missing from single-file self-contained publish beginning in .NET 5.0.3
See original GitHub issue- .NET Core Version: 5.0.3
- Have you experienced this same bug with .NET Framework?: No
Problem description:
Application fails to launch with this message: Launch exception: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002) This only happens with a a single-file self-contained app published to a folder on a PC that doesn’t have .NET 5 runtime installed. If the app is published self-contained but not single-file, the app runs as expected.
This appears to only happen in a winforms app. I have not seen this behavior in WPF apps.
Expected behavior: It should run when published single-file self-contained as it did with previous versions of .NET 5, which did not have this issue,

I found that if I commented out this line in program.cs, the app loads ok: //Application.EnableVisualStyles();
