publish-standalone-x64.7z contains both the launcher's bootstrap and the .NET6 Desktop Runtime (64-bit) v6.0.16. Therefore, the launcher can run without any installations. However, the package size is big as it contains both launcher's bootstrap and the runtime.
Recommended if you don't want to install .NET6 Desktop Runtime (64-bit), or want a ready-to-go deployment, or want everything in one place.
Note:
Launcher's bootstrap is the launcher's self-updater, it will help you keep the launcher up-to-date (or you can refuse to update, it's all your call) and execute the launcher for you.
This version won't be compatible with all versions before 3.2.4.
It is:
Preferred to install .NET Desktop Runtime (64-bit) and keep it up-to-date, then use the publish-framework-dependent-x64.7z package because the updated runtime will always have bugfixes, security patches and other improvements, this will also ensure all the applications (not just this game launcher) using the said .NET runtime will perform safer and better. With this, not only you can easily update the runtime, it's also a one-time progress which benefits all other .NET6 apps, moreover, updating the launcher's bootstrap will be much less of a hassle thanks to the small package size.
NOT preferred to use publish-standalone-x64.7z because the package should only be used when you have reason(s) to use it (such as wanting to isolate the launcher's deployment, or using the launcher as a ready-to-run deployment). Another reason is that you may need to occasionally redownload the whole standalone package again to keep the .NET Runtime in the bundle up-to-update.
If you can't open or uncompress the 7z archive, try to use download and use latest version (which is available to your system) of 7-zip here. The packages are compressed with 7-Zip 22.01 (2022-07-15).
