Bugreport: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'LiquidTemplate' threw an exception. after updating to v14.2.0.0

[sbma24]

I just updated to the recent version 14.2.0.0. Every time, I want to generate the output or files I get the error

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'LiquidTemplate' threw an exception.
 ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Fluid, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=51cdb8c1938e4789'. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Fluid, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=51cdb8c1938e4789'
Check if .NET Core is installed and 'dotnet' is globally available.

Same issue after updating

Same issue. With v14.1.0.0 it still works

Same for me, we try to generate output files for a .net 8 project.

But I found a workaround:
If you look at the installation directory of NSwag Studio, you will find the Fluid.dll assembly in the Net90 subdirectory, but not in the Net80 subdirectory!

I've therefore copied this file from NET90 to NET80, and after that the file generation works again.

Hope that helps

Don't know what happens with the studio installer, but try running repair. The installer is available on the release page: https://github.com/RicoSuter/NSwag/releases/tag/v14.2.0

Having the same problem. Using 'Repair' doesn't work, the installer says it ended prematurely.

This works

Fresh install seems fine...

Seems to be a problem with the WIX installer, and we had this in the past:

Uninstall and re-install fixed it for me.
