Arithmetic error resulted in an overflow

Question

I am using exe file which is actually a file i need to run to do a task on an emulator on windows 11 which is used to modify things in emulater (actually a cheat for a game in emulator) ,  this tool uses .NET framework 3.5 and when I try to to run anything in that,  it gives error " Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow", I googled it and found that this problem is related to .NET framework,  can you please tell me how to fix this issue related to .NET Framework???

note- there's no issue with the file, the error is with ms framework 3.5

Answer 1

Contact the author/developer/support team for that tool and ask them for a version that is compiled with a different .NET framework.

We really can't help you if you don't provide specific details of the error. IE, do you have a dump? Do you have the source code to this program? What statement is causing the crash? How would we recreate the error to verify that it really is a .NET problem and test against other .NET versions?

Answer 2

I guess that the forum software doesn't like the links that I posted since it deleted my answer.

To summarize: you can create an application config file to specify (force) the .Net runtime version for a given program. You will have to search the net as to how to do that.

I also commented that I didn't think that there was a high probability that that would work. Your best bet is to contact the developer of that program and ask for help. The root issue is probably not a .Net framework error but something that the program is doing. If it is something in Framework, then the developer will most likely need to recompile it and target a newer version of the Framework.
