hashdir 80 MB of blackness

OS Windows 7 x64, hashdir 1.4.0.

$ busybox du -h hashdir.exe
79.6M   hashdir.exe

$ hashdir.exe

Nothing at all. Not even an error message. Just blackness.

@sergeevabc, do you have the dotnet 8.0 runtime?

You can download the latest version (.NET Runtime 8.0.17) for whatever platform you are on from the official website: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

Re: @ultimateanu

Microsoft says .NET 8 is not with Windows 7 (see the original post), However, I have .NET 6.0.25 installed.

I didn't realize MS does not support .NET 8 on Windows 7. That is the issue, so unfortunately this cli won't work for Windows 7 or earlier.

Re: @ultimateanu

Wait a sec. I have found a way to install NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.17 on Windows 7.

$ dotnet --list-runtimes
Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.25 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 8.0.17 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 6.0.25 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App]
Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 8.0.17 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App]

However, I see no changes about hashdir output, still nothing at all.
