Release Release Bootstrap v2.0.4 [FINAL-NET5] · Leayal/PSO2-Launcher-CSharp

This is the final release for .NET5 branch of the launcher. It is recommended to move forward to the launcher's .NET6 release.

publish-framework-dependent.7z contains the launcher's bootstrap. However, it requires .NET5 Desktop Runtime (x64) (Direct link v5.0.12) installed on the computer in order to run.
- Recommended if you already have .NET5 Desktop Runtime (x64) (Direct link v5.0.12) or .NET5 SDK (x64) (Direct link v5.0.403) installed on the computer (the SDK also includes all .NET runtimes, you don't need to have both, but having both is still okay).
publish-standalone.7z contains the launcher's bootstrap and the .NET5 Desktop Runtime (x64). 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 .NET5 Desktop Runtime (x64) or if you want everything in one place.

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.
You don't have to keep the bootstrap up-to-date as all the previous bootstrap releases (which are in same major v2.x or 2.0.x release) are compatible with this release.
It is preferred to download publish-standalone.7z. Because this release is final for .NET5 branch, there won't be any newer packages and this also means .NET5 branch is obsolete. Therefore, the launcher should be on its own as standalone to be able to run even when .NET5 runtimes are uninstalled (if you move forward to .NET6 or later) or when the runtimes are not installed.
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 21.05 (2021-11-20).
