Unable to upgrade to 1.6.1

Post by rp1138 »

Description of problem or question:

Have 1.4.2 installed on Win11 upgrade from Win10. Unable to get any version higher than current to run on system.


Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
I uninstall 1.4.2 version and then install current copy 1.6.1 and I get the startup error telling me:

You must install .Net Desktop Runtime to run this application.
Architecture:64
App host version: 6.0.11 (this changes based on the version of the app)

Then I press yes to download and install the version is it asking for and restart computer.

I have uninstalled all copies of the software and assume from reading that the problem lies in the dotnet not being read correctly. So my question is were do I go from here? If someone could hold my hand and walk me through where I need to check to remove any bad links or uninstall any old dotnet files. I would really appreciate the extra help.

Thanks.



HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

Unfortunately, I have tried all those steps and cannot get it to work. I guess what I am looking for is more detail on Dotnet and how that works and how I can make sure the newest version of Handbrake sees the correct version of Dotnet. I installed the newest Dotnet 6.0.15 and installed current version of Handbrake. Then it tells me I need 6.0.11 installed instead. So I try to install that one and I have to uninstall 6.0.15 to Install 6.0.11. Handbrake still doesn't see it. So I am just hoping to find the process that I need to do to correct this issue.

How about this?

In Command Prompt, you can use "dotnet --info" to find out what versions of .NET core are installed
And also the value of the DOTNET_ROOT environment variable.
