Hi there. I keep getting the same error every time I try to run this:

I've reinstalled NET Runtime, both 6 and 7, and I have no idea where I'm doing something wrong.

I am getting the same error. How did you resolve it?

I just got the same error, download it from the previous version. The current release has files missing, even the GUI was not working, but using the previous version, the GUI worked again and the CLI too

There seems to be an issue with dotnet publish for the windows builds. The database file isn't included in the output. I'll include the file in the build manually for now.
