Blink Files Are Missing in WinForms ClickOnce app

[Jay Jennings]

I've installed the Syncfusion.HtmlToPdfConverter.WinForms NuGet package in my .Net 4.8 ClickOnce app but when the app is installed and I run it, I get the error: Blink files are missing at C:\Users\...  (see the attachment for the complete error message)

I've been to the following page:

https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/convert-html-to-pdf/blink

...but the info there seems aimed at web apps, not desktop apps. 

Could you give me some pointers on where I should be looking for the answer?

Thanks.

We have checked the reported issue with Blink ClickOnce sample on our end and able to reproduce the Blink files missing exception on our end. The reported exception occurs due to that the required Blink binaries are not available in that ClickOnce app location. To overcome this exception, we need to include the BlinkBinaries folder files in the WinForms project. We have attached the runnable ClickOnce sample for your reference, please find the sample link below,
Sample: Sample: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/WindowsFormsClickOnce1572287648

Please set the Copy to Output Directory as “Copy always” and Build Action as “Content” to all the Blink Binaries inner and sub folder files,

Please make sure the Blink Binaries folder files are included in the ClickOnce app location after publishing the project, refer the below screenshot,

Please try the above solution on your end and let us know the result.
