Have you checked to see if your outup is at the correct / mentioned directory? Did you add in all the dots in the path or is this copied?

Do you have the source code, and are you able to build the project in Visual Studio and run it inside Visual Studio ?

how correct my path in assembly or the output
and yes ihave the source code but there the manifest certificate error how can i solve it

If you have deleted the startup form (usually Form1) then you need to recreate the missing form or add a new form with the same name.
OR you could enter a new form name in substitution of Form1() in the line in your code:
C#
Application.Run(new Form1());

Also you can try following solutions:

My 5, but this is an overkill, if you look at some other questions by OP. In response to one of them I already recommended "stop torturing your computer". :-)

Not this one -- here I added my answer, please see.

thank you Wonde
Why not formatting your hard drive with the only surviving version of some code and asking "how can I solve it"? What are you asking is pretty much the same.

[EDIT]

First of all, stop working without Revision Control system — these days it makes no sense as such system can be extremely lightweight, reliable and free of charge. Look at this discussion: Revision control systems, which to choose from?[^] and also my recent answer with a lot of detail: Needs some words of wisedom to set up and/or use a server[^].
