Unable to start ASE

[machowsk]

When I try to start ASE, I get the following error:

The authentication library used by Storage Explorer has failed to start properly. Please ensure you have .NET Framework 4.7.2 or greater installed. If .NET Framework 4.7.2 or greater is already installed then refer to the troubleshooting guide for help. Verbose authentication logging has been enabled.

@machowsk thank you so much for providing these logs from the get-go! Unfortunately this is not an error we've ever seen before. Let me forward this to the team that owns this library. Will get back to you once I hear from them.

@machowsk can you please try using Storage Explorer 1.25 and let me know if this still reproduces for you? We upgraded the version of the component that was causing your issue.
