Crash On Startup

2021-06-13 10:36:17 PM: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'SteamShutdown.Steam' threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path. at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path, Boolean checkAdditional) at System.IO.Path.Combine(String path1, String path2) at System.Dynamic.UpdateDelegates.UpdateAndExecute3[T0,T1,T2,TRet](CallSite site, T0 arg0, T1 arg1, T2 arg2) at SteamShutdown.Steam.GetLibraryPaths(String installationPath) at SteamShutdown.Steam..cctor() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at SteamShutdown.Steam.add_AppInfoChanged(AppInfoChangedEventHandler value) at SteamShutdown.CustomApplicationContext..ctor() at SteamShutdown.SteamShutdown.Main()

I think this is a problem related to how the json is parsed. To be exact it appears as if it isn't parsed at all in this version. The path isn't extracted but instead the whole json block is. Line 213 in Steam.cs, path.ToString() yields "{\r\n \"path\": \"E:\\\\SteamLibrary\",\r\n \"label\": \"\",\r\n \"mounted\": \"1\",\r\n \"contentid\": \"291330330544794389\"\r\n}" But should be (i guess) E:\SteamLibrary

//Edit: Fun Fact: While trying to figure out what's wrong my need for this tool has vanished as my download has finished :) I'll be looking into this nonetheless as the Author seems to be busy otherwise....

Your help would be greatly appreciated. I'm very sorry that I hardly react the last time, as I'm busy with my studies at the moment.

This error seems to get quite common. I recently received a similar report. Feel free to open a pull request when you found a solution :)

Yeah I'll do that as soon as I can come up with a robust solution to this problem. Might take a few days but it's doable.
