Hi @Chill-Astro,

Manual Validation ended with:

The window disappeared quickly, so I needed to pause the VM to catch it. Is this expected?

Verify while here:

[Chill-Astro]

No that's not normal. It should run properly.

[Chill-Astro]

I think I shall test it. I will let you know. I need to modify the setup file in that case

[Chill-Astro]

On my computer the setup runs fine. I need to check if its some missing dependency like .Net runtime, though it's bundled into it.

@stephengillie In my Windows 11 VM, it runs perfectly though. Would you mind re-running the installer?
It's pretty much a blank VM with no runtimes. Nothing. Just blank. Can you give some logs maybe of what issue happened?

Here's a new Installer with a new hash if that helps :

URL : https://github.com/Chill-Astro/Random/releases/download/v1.0/Random-Setup.exe

SHA256 : 2d10c489b88605ff7e11ebb0d13d998cc75a2f62fbe886148d3ab3fa1899416e

SHA-1 : e5e8cd37420be8efa23d715bac755eafd187ca80

Hope this helps!

Hi @Chill-Astro,

Does this package require Windows 11? If so, consider adding MinimumOSVersion: 10.0.22621.0 to the manifest. My VMs are also blank with no runtimes. I use Windows 10 by default.

@stephengillie No this app doesn't need Windows 11. The runtimes are bundled into the app. Other OSes run the same code as well. Please try to test if the Standalone .exe works or not. Like their executable is the same. It's unusual that this is happening.

@stephengillie You may need to update Windows 10 to its latest build. Or else it may be an issue as .NET 9.0 is probably bundled.

Some explanation from AI :

Why this happens on Windows 10 with a bundled runtime:

• The .NET runtime (especially newer versions or those compiled with certain security features enabled by default) expects certain kernel functionalities to be present and correctly implemented for features like Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET), which includes shadow stacks.
• Older or insufficiently updated Windows 10 installations might not have the necessary kernel patches or full support for these features, even if the hardware theoretically supports them.
• When the bundled CLR initializes and attempts to use these features (or verify their state), it encounters an unexpected condition (the !AreShadowStacksEnabled() part of the assertion) and crashes.
  So, your primary focus should be on getting that Windows 10 VM thoroughly updated.

@ stephengillie You may need to update Windows 10 to its latest build.

This happens every 2-3 weeks.

Or else it may be an issue as .NET 9.0 is probably bundled.

The error is likely due to the missing runtime. Is there any proof that it's bundled? Also, which version of .NET - the SDK, the runtime, or the desktop runtime?

These suggestions are too general to be helpful in this situation. This is a known issue when using AI - their replies are too uninformed to be useful in specific situations. They imply that the source doesn't actually know what's wrong here, and so it suggests everything.

So, your primary focus should be on getting that Windows 10 VM thoroughly updated.

Again, this happens every couple of weeks. Do you have any proof that the runtime is bundled? In my experience, they are usually not, and since it's required, its absence is the most likely explanation for the error.

Microsoft runtimes are available through the package manager, and so can be enumerated in manifests as a PackageDependencies. If the specific .NET 9.0 runtime were known, then it could be included as a dependency, after which the program should work normally.

(edit: grammar)

I have deleted the branch and I will try again later. I need to do some diagnosis of the issue.
