NScriptHhelper.exe version 6.xxx

[scJohn]

I am having problems running "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\NScriptHelper.exe" in a PowerShell script.   I am on version 6.0.0 with a build date of 220904.    When running NScriptHelper.exe I get an Exit Code: -2147450730.

Here is the last part of the Windows PowerShell transcript

Code:

Tried running in a batch file and got

Does NScriptHelper.exe now require NetCore version 6?

Did not have this problem with version 5.x  of NextPVR.

Does NScriptHelper.exe now require NetCore version 6?

Did not have this problem with version 5.x  of NextPVR.

Take a look at the very first (bolded) line of the v6 release announcement:

I've updated the NextPVR to the new NextPVR v6.0.0.220904 release.

This is the first version to be based on .NET 6, so I've decided to move the application version number to v6.x.x. Other than this updated .NET runtime version, this release is mainly focuses on bug fixes.

It should already have everything it needs in that directory. I'll check it a bit later today.

You might need to change the default directory to the program folder if you don't have Netcore 6 installed separately, but I can't test this.

Opened PowerShell in C:\Program Files\NextPVR and then ran ./nscripthelper.exe and see the attached screen shot.  Also tried ./dotnet --info.

NextPVR doesn't install dotnet just a runtime but you confirmed it doesn't run from the path. What are the time and dates on your files? I see sub didn't update the exe launcher.

Code:

2022-07-16  16:32           8,111  NScriptHelper.deps.json
2022-07-16  16:32          10,752  NScriptHelper.dll
2021-04-12   4:56         174,592  NScriptHelper.exe
2022-07-16  16:32             253  NScriptHelper.runtimeconfig.json

Also make sure when you install you don't have a version of NPVR.zip in the same folder as the installer.

Maybe try replacing NScriptHelper.exe with this one https://nextpvr.com/NScriptHelper.zip

It's working now.    Thanks Sub.
