Exception after fresh install of VirtualDesktop 1.18

[neilkatin]

I tried running VirtualDesktop 1.18 today (downloaded from the github release folder). I get this error when I run it:

Downloads/VirtualDesktop11 /list

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'VirtualDesktop.DesktopManager' threw an exception. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
   at VirtualDesktop.IServiceProvider10.QueryService(Guid& service, Guid& riid)
   at VirtualDesktop.DesktopManager..cctor()
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at VDeskTool.Program.Main(String[] args)

I tried both VirtualDesktop11 and VirtualDesktop11-24H2 (I don't think I'm running the win11-24h2 patch, but I wanted to see if it made a difference).

I apologize in advance if this is a RTFM issue.

Just for background info: PSVirtualDesktop also didn't work, so there may be an issue with my machine relative to VirtualDesktop assumptions.
