    Hi @Reg Keegan ,

    Thank you for the information and the screen capture you provided, it’s very helpful for the investigation.

    Based on the error message you shared, I recommend downloading the latest .NET Desktop Runtime from here. While the required version is 8.0.11, the latest release includes important security updates and fixes, so choosing the most recent version is generally the better option. That said, if you prefer to use version 8.0.11, you can simply scroll down on the same page as it is still available.

    Whichever version you decide to install, please take a moment to review the details I highlighted in the screenshot to ensure you select the correct runtime for your system.

    User's image If anything is unclear or you need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m always happy to help. If you find this answer useful, I would also appreciate your feedback on my support following this guidance.

    I hope everything works smoothly for you. Have a wonderful day!
