[BUG] App doesn't launch via pre-compiled binaries and any IDE besides Visual Studio

[karosas]

Parquet Viewer Version
2.4.2

Where was the parquet file created?
Not parquet related issue

Sample File
Not parquet related issue

Describe the bug
Launching latest pre-compiled binary fails silently.
Launching project using dotnet run fails silently
Launching project using Jetbrains Rider produces error Appx recipe file[] does not exist
Launching project using VS2022 works fine and then later launching produced binary works fine as well

Screenshots
I don't think they're helpful here

Additional context
Windows 10 21H2
dotnet cli version - 7.0.101
dotnet sdks installed - 7.0.101, 6.0.100
.NET 4.6 installed
.NET 4.7.2 or later is installed, or at least that's what 4.7.2 installer tells me

I'm not too familiar with windows GUI app development, so don't really know what to look at. If anything the error from running it in Rider seems to be the biggest hint, but can't really find much information on that specific error.

Hi, thanks for the report.

Can you see if there's anything in Windows Event Viewer under the Application Logs section?

1. Try running the application again
2. Hit Win + R
3. Type eventvwr and hit Enter
4. See if there are any interesting logs under Windows Logs -> Application

Also when you run the app can you double check if the process is running or not in Task Manager? Maybe it's hidden but actually running.

Ah, right, I was looking at code if you use eventlog as a log sink, but I completely forgot windows track crashes itself.

Another Note on IDE builds, it seems that Jetbrains Rider/dotnet CLI generate quite different output structures on debug builds.

VS Debug build produces bin\Debug\net6.0-windows

ref
runtimes
Apache.Arrow.dll
IronCompress.dll
Newtonsoft.Json.dll
Parquet.dll
ParquetViewer.deps.json
ParquetViewer.dll

Jetbrains Rider / dotnet CLI produce bin\Debug\net6.0-windows\win-x64

Looks like this might be an issue with the 6.0.2 sdk: dotnet/core#7176 . I'll check if that's what I published the app against.

From the Rider IDE perspective unfortunately I don't have much information about that. There isn't anything special with the project that I could think of that would cause issues with Rider.

Here's an experimental .NET 7.0 build: ParquetViewer.zip

Let me know if this works for you.

[karosas]

Yup, that was it, dotnet 7.0 build works. Thanks
