Upgrading to net8.0 throws exception on startup.

Hello,

I have a Windows Service that was functioning correctly under net6.0. I recently upgraded and everything works correctly in a development environment. However, after installing on a system I get an exception on startup. Here is the code I am using to configure logging in Program.cs:

IHost host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
    .UseWindowsService(options => {
        options.ServiceName = "ArcturusIntegrationEngine";
    })
    .ConfigureLogging(logging => {
        logging.ClearProviders();
        logging.AddLog4Net(log4NetConfigFile: "log4net.config");
        logging.AddConsole();
    })
   // Omitted for brevity
   .Build();

await host.RunAsync();

My log4net config gets installed alongside the .exe and it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<log4net>
    <root>
        <level value="ALL" />
        <appender-ref ref="console" />
        <appender-ref ref="file" />
    </root>
    <appender name="console" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%date %level %logger - %message%newline" />
        </layout>
    </appender>
    <appender name="file" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
        <file value="${ProgramData}\Vysix\Arcturus\IntegrationEngine\logs\app.log" />
        <appendToFile value="true" />
        <rollingStyle value="Size" />
        <maxSizeRollBackups value="5" />
        <maximumFileSize value="10MB" />
        <staticLogFileName value="true" />
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %level %logger - %message%newline" />
        </layout>
    </appender>
</log4net>

The error I am seeing in windows event viewer:

I am unable to resolve this issue and was wondering if anyone else has experienced it... and if so what a work around would be. I will be downgrading back to net6.0 if I cannot resolve this.
