The WFA1.exe file is not a valid (portable executable) PE

Question

Hello,

I’m trying to use the update function of visual studio using Click Once, but on some computers, when starting to install the file, it crashes and displays an error message.

This problem only occurs with some computers, I have even tested with the same version of the OS where the error occurs in another computer and the same worked normally.

From what I researched, could be the lack of net flamework, but the computer already has it installed.

Would anyone have any idea what it might be, since on several computers it works normally?

Note: The computer has no anti-virus.
