✅ Huge problem with translation file and setup

Good morning at everyone. I apologize for this silly request but I have a big problem with a setup/build project. My project is an oldish .Net Framework 4.7 developed with WinForm but lately I had this request to translate in another language. After a brief research I found a good way to do it with resx. files that I move in Translations folder, and the program was perfect in Visual Studio! When I tried to compile setup file there was no error at all but my software crashes instantanealy if launched from Start Menu. I researched some workaround with no avail until now. Do you have some idea to how solve this issue? Thanks in advance.

Open the event viewer - windows logs - application and look for the two error entries when your application crashes One is useless, but the other has the stack trace and exception in it

Thanks 🙏🏻 With this log I understand something that I didn't considerate until now.

Did you deploy the satellite assemblies along with your main exe?

Maybe, but I resolved with this: in the output project I added "localized resources" and now is all ok ^^
