Found the problem: They are using an old version of .net (4.0), but DSCM requires 4.5. As you did not actually use any 4.5 features in the previous stable, that did run on 4.0. But I used quite a few 4.5 features, so that doesn't work anymore. And apparently .net is not smart enough to register this and just crashes instead …

So there's two things we can do:

1. Tell people to get the current .net version from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=42643 and make it clear that DSCM needs 4.5 (which is preinstalled since windows 8) or
2. Remove all 4.5 features and target 4.0. That will be quite annoying since the auto-updater uses a lot of 4.5 (Async and the zip module).

What do you think?

[Wulf2k]

I'm fine with 4.5 being required.

[Chronial]

Then that should be stated on

• Your hompage
• The reddit thread and every release announcement
• The nexus page
• The readme

[Chronial]

Doesn't look like we got more reports for this, so I guess it's fix. Leaving this open till the nexus page contains a note about 4.5.

[Wulf2k]

Nexus does note that 4.5 is required.
