Applications are not correctly detecting .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.1 (x64)
Even though I have .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.1 (x64) installed, I'm still getting an error when launching a .NET application Windows 10 21H2 OS Build 19044.1466 Event log shows event 102...
Likewise, on Windows 11 Home latest. Did you manage to resolve the problem; I'm still struggling and beginning to think it needs a complete wipe and restart... ugh!
One plausible scenario is that your app targets "x86" (or 32-bit Windows), while your runtime is "x64" (64-bit Windows).
Use 'dotnet --list-runtimes' to find out runtime architecture and you can use Ildasm.exe to determine the app architecture.
