BookLibConnect won't start

[JammyDonut]

hi,
I'm trying to install for the first time (no previous install), using installer BookLibConnect-0.11-Setup.exe.
Install goes fine, but when starting the program, it appears briefly in Task Manager and then disappears.
I'm using Windows 10 22H2.

I'm not sure where the application log is , but in the Event Viewer, there's some errors shown.

Application: BookLibConnect.exe
CoreCLR Version: 6.0.121.56705

any ideas?

It looks like some CLR version mismatch but I don't really know. You could try to update to the latest 6.0 runtime (6.0.13):

Thanks for that! it's now working

• turns out I had a very old dotnet runtime ( dotnet --info was showing 6.0.1 )
