.NET Core 31 - Single EXE - The application to execute does not exist

Converted an old .NET Framework project to .NET Core 3.1 yesterday. The application runs fine on my own machine and debugs correctly.
I have put both the following into my .vbproj/.csproj
<PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
<RuntimeIdentifier>win81-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
However when I move the .EXE to a remote machine and attempt to run said EXE on that remote machine I get told that the DLL (for the project in question) does not exists.
I moved the .dll to the same directory that the exe is in (not ideal) and get the following error instead
A fatal error was encountered. The library 'hostpolicy.dll' required to execute the application was not found in 'C:\Program Files\dotnet'.
I used to use Costura.Fody to create a single file exe without any issues in .NET Framework, I was under the impression the above would do the same for the .NET Core packages.
Can someone point me in the right direction please.
For anyone else that may find this question and find it useless.
I was 'Building' the project instead of 'Publishing' the project, this in-turn wasn't creating the self-contained exe properly.
Don't be a donut like me.
In Visual Studio 2019, go to Build > Publish MyApp. This will open a tab in the editor area. Click on Show all settings to open the Profile settings dialog. Then click on File publish options and check Produce single file.

Can't launch Qt Quick Controls application

I downloaded Qt 5.4 and created Qt Quick application with Qt Quick Controls 1.3.
I didn't change anything in code, just built it (as release). Then I copied .exe to another folder, added all the .dll files I needed and when I launched my program there was no window, just the program process running in the Task manager.
However, I can launch program which uses QtQuick 1.1.
How can I fix it?
Thanks.
Here is an image for some more explanation:
Try to deploy your application using The Windows Deployment Tool which copies all DLL and other files necessary for deployment alongside your application executable automatically.
The Windows Deployment Tool could be found in QTDIR/bin/windeployqt.exe
Open your command prompt and add the path to your Qt directory and it's bin folder to the PATH variable like :
set PATH= path\to\Qt\bin
Next run the windows deployment tool with your application path as the argument:
windeployqt.exe <path-to-app-binary>
This way you make sure that the deployed application would work on any computer and you have included whatever necessary.
Sounds like you are missing the platform plugin. It should be in the folder of the executable, in a platforms subfolder. That's why you aren't getting a window - the runtime fails to load the platform support plugin. On windows that should be a qwindows.dll file.

Cannot deploy my Quick 2 app to a Windows system without Qt installed

I am using Qt 5 with Visual Studio compiler. I have a Quick 2 application with a c++ backend.
I have bundled together my exe, a bunch of dll files, and all of the plugins from Qt, into a single folder. When I run the exe in this folder on a system with Qt installed but Qt Creator closed, it runs fine. When I run it on a system without Qt installed, it does not crash, but it just opens a small 1-inch square window that is all white, nothing else.
I am using a Qt resource file for the QML, so there are no standalone QML files that could be getting missed by the exe. Again, it runs fine on a system with Qt, so what else could I be missing? Dependency walker does not report any problems.
Here is what is in my app directory:
I've been looking at this for hours and I cannot understand what I must be missing (or why Windows deployment is so challenging with Qt).
The problem was resolved by also adding these directories:

QT Dlls problem

I have small problem with qt dlls. In visual studio 2008 project compile fine and everything works, but when I try to open application in debug folder without using visual I had errors, so I copy all needed dlls to this project, but after that I don't have any error, and nothing happens (window doesn't appear on screen).
In visual studio you can add a binary reference to the Qt dll's and it will ensure they get copied to your build directory when you debug. You need to might use a dependency walker to figure out what all the required dll's are.
You need to also copy from your Qt install folder the "platform" dll located at : platform\qwindows.dll
to your running folder.
(I forget if you need to copy "platform\windows.dll" or just "windows.dll")
You can also use the cygwin toolkit to resolve dependencies as well (ldd). Another option is to add the library path to your %PATH% environment variable

Difference in DLL when compiling on Build Server instead of Dev Machine

I have an application that loads user controls into .NET web application. When I compile and test the application locally on my dev machine it works on my machine. The project builds successfully using MSBuild on our build server. However when I deploy the dll generated by MSBuild on the build server I get the following error when the application loads the control:
BC30456: 'CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl' is not a member of 'ASP.usercontrols_somecontrol_ascx'.
I took a look and compared the dll generated on my machine and compared it(looked at the file size) with the one created by the build server and noticed
a difference in the file size. This is confusing considering the code being built locally and on the build server is IDENTICAL. I manually compared each file by hand. So my question is: What is causing this error? What would be different between MSBuild's compilation of the code and what is going on in Visual Studio when compiling the code?
You've got a versioning issue. Some assemblies are different on your target machine than on your dev machine. I'm afraid you're going to have to do some digging to hunt it down, since this error message is entirely unhelpful. Really it's pointing you in the wrong direction since the problem isn't in your assembly. It's probably caused by something in your project References. Have you got some 3rd party tool or SDK on your dev machine that hasn't been updated on the server yet?
The last time I saw this was when I had built a DotNetNuke module that was built against a newer DotNetNuke.dll assembly than my server had.
If you compile that as dll.
Try delete App_Code.dll in bin folder.
