Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure when opening CompactGUI.exe with .NET 9 installed, then inspect the generated dump file for evidence of the crash. Done means the executable opens normally without generating a dump file.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

NET9 has been installed, but when I click on CompactGUI.exe, it doesn't open at all. It only generates a dmp file.
