What is the value of the RELEASE key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full in your registry?

hi, this is how it shows:

robvdpol commented 2 years ago

Please type 'dotnet --info' in a command line prompt and paste the output. The registry key mentioned above is for old .NET Framework.

By the way, the readme already redirects to .NET 6.0 desktop runtime, which is the incorrect one for the current release. The upcoming release will be .NET 6 though.

Are you saying we should be using 5 and not 6 at this time? I have 6 installed, and I still get this message on startup, only without a specific version being detailed.

EDIT: I've since realised that we need the Desktop and not Core version. I've opened a new issue (https://github.com/robvdpol/RaceControl/issues/350) detailing the incorrect link referenced in the the read me and the alert box ;) Thanks.

For the latest release (2.6.0) you need .NET 6 desktop runtime: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.3-windows-x64-installer
