Hi @adil ,

It might be a .NET Framework version compatibility issue, you could check it as follows.
In general, this error does not require any other action, just confirm which .NET Framework versions are installed on your system, please check How to: Determine Which .NET Framework Versions Are Installed.
By default, an app runs on the version of .NET Framework that it was built for. If that version isn't present and the app configuration file doesn't define supported versions, a .NET Framework initialization error may occur. In this case, the attempt to run the app will fail.To define the specific versions on which your app runs, add one or more <supportedRuntime> elements to your app's configuration file. Each <supportedRuntime> element lists a supported version of the runtime.
Reference: To configure your app to run on the .NET Framework 4 or later versions
