System.String.Format(System.IFormatProvider, System.Stri
ng, System.Object) only exists starting with .net4.5 or maybe even 4.6. That clean win7 install probably only has .net 3.5 installed.

Maybe include the .NET 4.8 Web Installer into the Caveman2Cosmos dev setup.

I put in a PR instead that downgrades it to work with 4.5. Although 4.5 still isn't included as default, it will be automatically installed by one of our tools (can't remember which one). Weird that this tool doesn't automatically try to install 4.7 or whatever version it needs? Maybe it is a setting somewhere.

Did you install any kind of software in that clean windows 7 or did maybe the windows 7 you installed already include software or the .net 4.5?
That would explain it.

[billw2012]

Yeah 4.5 gets automatically installed by something. But I'm not worried about this we can leave it as is I think, certainly I'm bored with writing installer scripts now!

I add the .net 4.8 web installer to the dev setup.
