Directory not being read?

[SolomonRed]

I appear to be have an issue with the directory not being read or an issue where the .net program was isntalled?

The directory mentioned in the error message does not match the one I chose for the game files. I appreciate any help resolving this, looking to restore the game to the state prior to the April patch.

Full log below:

Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.

Possible reasons for this include:

• You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.

• You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-C:\Users\Ports\Downloads\Aoe does not exist.

• You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

It seems like .NET is not installed. Did you just download it and put it there, or did you also install it?
The runtime version should be enough by the way. SDK is not needed.

I think I know what the issue is. The space in the foldername seems to be the issue. For now you should be able to run it by removing spaces in the folder names leading to the executable.

Thank you for reporting it, I will try to fix it later :)
It will require a new version of the tool though

Should be fixed now, please try again with the latest released version

It is working now, thank you very much for making this!
