First, does your app work if you have only your apps executable in a Program Files folder? That's all your installer, as written, will lay down.

If your app needs more files, like .DLL's and such, this installer doesn't know about them and will not lay them down with your executable.

Nobody can answer this for you. This is something YOU are going to have to troubleshoot.

For now, forget the installer and just figure out what files your app needs to run.
