App compiles fine in Visual Studio but crashes when launch from the Installer created in Inno Setup 5

I 'm currently trying to make an installer for a Windows/WPF application developed in Visual Studio Community 2015 using Inno Setup 5.6.1. The application compiles without any errors in Visual Studio but for some reason it crashes when launched using the installer created with Inno Setup.

Can someone take a look at my process and let me know if I'm following the proper steps or if I'm missing something?

Here is how I created the installer.

  1. In Visual Studio I changed the compile mode from Default to Release.
  2. Compile in Release mode without any errors.
  3. In Inno Setup I created a new script using the Script Wizard, see images below.

Please note that I used the executable compiled in Release mode located in the /bin/Release/ directory.

What am I missing?

This is the error I get when I launch the app using the installer.

The problem is that some files that are necessary to run the app are missing from the destination folder. You need to add them to the Inno-Setup package.

See the 3rd Inno-Setup screencap you provided, use the "Add File(s)" and "Add Folder" buttons.
