How do I compile a UWP application to a stand-alone EXE file?

I have a UWP application. I can run it inside of Visual Studio by using the Run button. I also know how to create an App Package and distributed it via App Center.
What I can't figure out how to do is build an EXE file that I can run on my own computer without launching Visual Studio (or copy to another computer). I found the EXE in the project folder under bin/x64/Debug (or bin/x64/Release), but it won't run. In fact it does nothing when I double-click on it.
What am I doing wrong?
The easiest way I have found to get apps installed on computers for non-technical users is to give them the output of that Create App Packages submenu, which includes a ps1 script and certificate file. If you give it to them as a zip make sure they unzip the whole folder first, and run the ps1 script from the unzipped folder. If Developer Mode is not enabled on their computer, the settings dialog to enable it will open automatically, and they just have to flip the switch. Otherwise, they are just pressing Y or A in the PowerShell window to continue through the installation process.
It's not too bad, the whole thing takes about 30 seconds if you breeze through it, but I believe you need admin rights on the computer you're installing on, there's a UAC prompt at some point.
I found the EXE in the project folder under bin/x64/Debug (or bin/x64/Release)
The exe file is the uwp executive core, but it could not run directly, because it has some dependencies need to be packed together, so we need use Visual Studio to create package for your app. And this document contains detailed steps you could refer.
After getting the installation package, we need the side-load, and please note:
If you are not publishing your app and simply want to sideload an app package, you first need to trust the package. To trust the package, the certificate must be installed on the user's device.

Cannot download resources. Added EULA package on prequisites clickonce application

I have a click once application deployed on a web server. I also added a EULA prerequisite for my application. When I downloaded the setup installer, the EULA is getting printed, but when I click accept and it starts to download. It shows me the following error.
My publish files are stored on this path
C:\WebApplications\zephyr\zephyrpos\Downloads
I'm not sure why I'm getting this error. I'm sure that the files are there. Any ideas? Thanks!
For those who encounters the same error. All I did was to add .bat on mime types on IIS so it can download .bat files.

How to Run Program Downloaded From GitHub

I am new to running programs off GitHub.
I have downloaded Apriori Algorithm by Omar Gameel Salem from GitHub. I downloaded the .rar file and extracted it to a folder.
Can anyone can tell how to open the code in .NET and run it using Visual Studio 2008.
Extract the .rar to a folder
Open the folder
Look for a file with a .sln extension. (They are normally purple)
Open the .sln
Once Visual Studio loads the project, click Build -> Build Solution
After that, you should be good to go, just click the play button to run the program.

How do I install this Visual Studio project template?

I can't for the life of me figure this out. The "how to" video shows two .zip files in the ProjectTemplates/Visual C# folder, but I can't find them on this GitHub page... the instructions say under the "downloads tab up above ... download both of the project templates" and I can't even find the tab or the download option for the zip files seen in the video.
Here's what I've tried:
downloaded the single .zip file that contains both projects and put that .zip in the ProjectTemplates/Visual C# folder. Restart VS2010 - New Project, I don't see it as an option
Zipped the nested project, put that in the same folder as above. Restart VS2010 - New Project, but it's not an option
There is no .msi or .vsix file in the download.
Any help is appreciated

The downloads tab that the instructions refer to doesn't exist any longer, which probably explains why you're having trouble finding it.
Luckily, you can still find the downloads here: https://github.com/irobinson/WebFormsMvp-DNN-Module-Template/downloads
Once you've downloaded those and added the zips to your templates folder, you should be good to go.

Compressing(Zipping) VS2010 Solutions - issue when opening

I need to compress a Visual Studio 2010 Solution into zipped folder, so I can transfer it over email.
I have done this before, but for some reason, when I just tried it, and tested reopening the zipped solution, I get the following
*C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp3_WcfServiceConsole.zip\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole.csproj:
error : Unable to read the project file 'WcfServiceConsole.csproj'.
C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp3_WcfServiceConsole.zip\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole.csproj:
The project file could not be loaded. Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp3_WcfServiceConsole.zip\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole.csproj'.
I can't figure out why it would be doing this?
Is there another way I can zip up the solution correctly so that this doesn't happen?
It is pretty nice that Windows Explorer lets you look into a .zip file as though it is a directory. That's where the buck stops though, there is no .zip archive support built into Visual Studio.
You have to unzip the archive first.
To avoid a mistake like that in the future, switch Explorer to Programmer Mode. Start + Run, explorer.exe. Organize, Folder and Search options, View tab. Untick the "Hide extensions for known file types" checkbox.
You need to unzip the zip before trying to open it. It looks like you're just double-clicking the zip in Windows Explorer, then trying to open the solution file directly from the zip archive. That is, the path:
C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp3_WcfServiceConsole_**.zip**\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole.csproj
appears to be a path within a zip file. Visual Studio can't work with this until you unzip it.
