Yes.

EDIT: I've run both sfc and DISM just incase. No errors found.
That's really weird. Even tho i added a try catch for the whole startup it won't show any messages for all of you.
I can't figure out what causes it because there is no stacktrace.

Possible references not embedded? Seeing as it's only a single .exe it might be that. I can't find a stack trace but after further investigation on the event viewer i found a Client.exe error as well. See below.

EDIT: it's a bit late by me so will update further in the morning.

Same problem. BNS Buddy does not start at all. Windows 7 with all possible updates.

I have no idea what causes these issues.
Except for the Client.exe crash above that's unrelated to bnsbuddy.

Here's a new debug build.
Hopefully this one works.

Hi,

Right after update BnS Buddy crashed to me too. I forgot to take a screen shot and now I have only this error message. SS_2021.01.10.png

Edit: BnS Buddy(Debug).rar causes the same error.

My event viewer still shows errors for it though. Screenshot_144.png

That error log is from the previous version.
So it doesn't have errors. Nice and thanks for the feedback!
Time to find which dll needs to be added into buddy.exe...

one more thing. Can you delete one dll at a time (or move to another folder as backup) at every bnsbuddy startup until you find the culprit? That'd help me a lot. I'm going to bed. brb in 8-9 hours

System.IO.Compression.dll seems to be the culprit.

I removed all other besides this dll and it works. As soon as I move this one it stops working.

System.IO.Compression.dll seems to be the culprit.

This dll is required since this version:

The internal resources are now compressed, to save some space on the .exe file (which was ~20MB, down to ~11MB).

Possibly whatever .NET is installed doesn't come with this dll.

that just means i cant include that dll because ressources are loaded before.. I'll try a workaround

No luck. It works when i put the dll back but does not without it. Sorry for the late reply been a bit busy. And about to go for the night.

Side note I've tried reinstalling .net framework and i've also run the "repair tool" provided by microsoft.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30135

Is there a build difference between 5.9.7.0(last working version i had) and 5.9.7.2?
I cleared some unused libs and other stuff.
I might need to downgrade the target framework for bnsbuddy back to 4.5
because 4.6.1 libs aren't included in old windows installation.

Try all 3 exe and let me know which one works without the dll.

Ok so I went on a roadabout method and reinstalled the .netframework. I used the link below and it has resolved the issue.

I did a manual reinstall of the current release of bnsbuddy with the bnsbuddy updater and it works without issue.

I tried all 3 before i did the fix i mentioned above. None of them worked. Once I reinstalled .net with the offline installer all 3 worked.
