Unable to open the program

[Wexutar]

It said i have to install the .NET Runtime 7.0.0 (x64) which i did earlier. I've tried to restart the PC, didn't work... tried to reinstall it, repair it , no luck. And yes i've installed the correct version with the desktop runtime.

You could try doing what I suggested in https://github.com/shaked6540/YoutubePlaylistDownloader/issues/156

I did but no luck :\

What version of windows are you using?

[Wexutar]

Win 10 Pro 22H2

Hmm I couldn't find anything on the internet except people suggesting to uninstall and reinstall the .net installation

I can confirm that on Win10 21H2, the applications doesnt start after version 1.9.11.

There is no prompt about .net 7.0, installign above linked .net7.0 does not change it. There is no error produced in the event viewer.

Click application, can see application in task manager for a split second.

I would need the errors file, which can be found by clicking WinKey+R and typing %appdata%/Youtube Playlist Downloader into it and pressing ENTER. It should open a folder with some files, among them you should find a file named Errors.txt, please send it here.

I went to look but the log was empty, So i expected its a .net issue (no errors stating this tho) I went to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/7.0 I Downloaded the desktop runtime, and installed both x86 and x64. And then it worked after a reboot.

Thanks for the insight, maybe OP can try installing that too

Thank you for this. I had the same issue. So I uninstalled YTPD and the .NET download proffered by YTPD when it would not start, and installed the .NET package via the link you posted. Rebooted, then installed YTPD again and it worked.

Remember to install "SDK"

I can confirm the following works:

• downloaded Desktop Runtime (not the SDK!) from the link above, installed and rebooted
• installed YTPD, didn't work
• installed the ASP.NET Core 7.0 Runtime suggested by the error message voilà! now it works (without rebooting again)

so you basically need to install the Desktop Runtime on top of the ASP.NET Core Runtime

Honestly i tried installing every possible version of dotnet and only after installation of SDK worked for me, win 10

I believe you :) Initially, I downloaded the SDK as well (but the wrong version, the one without an installer, so I didn't use it), but the Desktop Runtime was sufficient for me on Windows 10
