Do you have a specific question?
We can't workout from just saying "Doesn't work". Have you enabled error logging with it? If so is it logging anything realted to your issue?

When I try to install the program in Vista after publishing in Windows 10 in Visual Studio C# forms, it says: "Cannot continue. The application is improperly formatted. Contact the application vendor for assistance."

Which framework version you have used for the project?
What is the framework version the target machine has?

Is is that hard to put that information in the question...

john1990_1 16-Sep-16 6:24am

john1990_1 16-Sep-16 8:02am

i have no idea, but i showed u the error info!

Richard Deeming 16-Sep-16 10:28am

Hang on - YOU wrote the application, and you have NO IDEA what framework version you wrote it in?!

The root cause of the problem is the error: Manifest XML signature is not valid

This StackOverflow thread[^] has plenty of suggestions for you to investigate.

1) Make sure you app is not a Windows Universal App. Make sure it is a standard Win Forms App.
2) Look at the properties of ALL projects in your solution and note what .Net framework you are using.
3) Check the .Net Framework you have installed on the Vista PC, and match projects in your solution to that .Net Framework.
4) Also make sure if the Vista PC is 32bit, that you are compiling all projects to 32 bit.

Based on the information you have provided, this should help get you started troubleshooting / fixing your issue.

Which version of the .NET Framework did you write your code against? Open your project in Visual Studio and open the Project Properties. You'll find this on the Application tab.

If you're written your code against a .NET 4.x version, you'll have to install that version of the framework on the Vista machine before you run your app. From the error message above, .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.x is trying to run your code.
