Hey, I can't get this to boot after a lot of fiddling, can you help at all? this looks like a fantastic tool!!
Hmm, I believe it should "just work" after the Windows app SDK and .NET runtimes are installed, do you get any other kind of errors?
I should update this at some point to have a proper packaged version that includes all the necessary components, but haven't gotten to that.
I have installed many different versions of the SDK and .NET runtimes and tried it again after each one and it continues to ask me for them. Unsure what to do at this point because I don't know how to convey to it that I have the necessarily things (trying again now though. maybe you the developer smiling on me will help)
Right, the newest runtimes might not be backwards compatible with 1.2 anymore. Try installing this one? https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/1.2/1.2.230313.1/windowsappruntimeinstall-x64.exe
