Clean install of Handbrake 1.8.2 & Dotnet 8.0.8 not working.

Post by smashly »

Description of problem or question:
Handbrake not seeing .NET 8.0.8 so a can not proceed any further with Handbrake.



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
No prior installs of Handbrake on this pc.
Installed Dotnet 8.0.8 via dotnet-runtime-8.0.8-win-x64.exe with no errors.
Shutdown PC, boot up PC.
Installed Handbrake 1.8.2 via HandBrake-1.8.2-x86_64-Win_GUI.exe
Launched Handbrake and was greeted with the message "You must install or update .NET to run this application."
Shutdown PC, boot up PC.
Try again and same thing.
Have removed it all, try install in reverse order, makes no diff, handbrake will not reconise .NET 8.0.8 as installed.



HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.8.2



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Win10 x64 21H2



HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Code: Select all

There is no activity log from Handbrake, there's no "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\HandBrake" directory at all (Owner logged on profile).
Probably due to the over zealous Handbrake .NET check not processing far enough to actually create the directories.
Do I need to find .NET 8.0.0 and not the current 8.0.8?

Something screwy with handbrake 1.8.# and the .NET 8.0.# detection for me that's for sure.
I tried all .NET versions from 8.0.0 up to 8.0.8, for me they just do not work with Handbrake 1.8.0 up to 1.8.2 for me anyway.
I ended having to install Handbrake 1.7.3 and .NET 6.0.33 to actually have a working Handbrake.

You need the "Desktop" runtime, not the base runtime
