It looks like this is still an issue with the latest release. I have this problem whenever I try to use a precompiled release on a machine that I haven't run Track Studio on before. This is probably a blind spot for the devs.

Currently, the workaround is to compile the program from scratch using the source code. This ensures all the dependencies are downloaded and installed to your PC.

Tutorials:

• Downloading the source code
• Compile C++ code in Visual Studio Code

Quick update: Turns out the Track Studio documentation on the website is outdated. It specifies that you need .NET Core v5.0 installed, but Track Studio wants v8.0. When I installed v8.0, the precompiled Track Studio successfully booted.

Assuming you are using Windows, the easiest way to install this is to open Terminal and type the following command: winget install Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.8. This will download and run the installer.

While you're at it, run this command to make sure C++ Redistributable is installed too: winget install Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64

NOTE: If you get an error saying the winget command cannot be found, this means you need to enable the WinGet application. In that same terminal window, use this command: Add-AppxPackage -RegisterByFamilyName -MainPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe. Once that's done, open a new terminal window and enter the winget commands.

If you continue to see weird behavior, the best way to figure out what's wrong is to open the program in terminal. In File Explorer, navigate to the folder where TrackStudio.exe is, right-click and select "Open in Terminal". Then use the command ./TrackStudio.exe. If Track Studio fails to boot, you will see an error message pop up in the terminal window.
