他们没测试好就发出来吗？

我感觉是的，我工作负载是根据官方文档勾选的，所以环境应该是不缺的，完全新下载的代码，全新的编译，都跑不通就不是我的问题了

Thank you @liesauer for filing this issue. I recently ran into the same issue and here is what I did to fix it:

• Unload both projects in the solution
• Clean solution
• Rebuild solution

This worked for me so I'll close this issue but feel free to tag me in this thread if the error persists.

@gregwoo-microsoft only WinUIGallery.DesktopWap.Package project can run, the WinUIGallery.DesktopWap project still reporting missing dll.

btw, WinUIGallery.DesktopWap.Package can only run under VS. if i run it via explorer, still fail to run.

Sorry for the delayed response. It seems like you are missing the WinUI library. Can you check that you have the latest Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK nuget package?

[liesauer]

i can comfirm that i have Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK package. it's easy and 100% reproducible.

1. a fresh system(Windows Sandbox in my case)
2. download latest VS and install all required workloads and components following this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/set-up-your-development-environment?tabs=vs-2022-17-1-a%2Cvs-2022-17-1-b#required-workloads-and-components
3. download and install latest wasdk runtime
4. clone WinUI-Gallery
5. launch WinUIGallery.DesktopWap
6. crash

[liesauer]

the key problem is VS can load the installed wasdk runtime dlls from some kind of mysterious location, and missing some of the runtime dlls when you build the application and the application seems have no this magical ability to load the Microsoft.ui.xaml.dll.

Clearing the microsoft.ui.xaml folder in the .nuget folder should resolve this issue.
