Only PE After System install Visual Studio 2022

[Sicarmon]

I was able to successfully decompile a .NET 4.0 exe file using dnspy v6.5.1, and it worked great. However, after I installed Visual Studio 2022, it stopped working properly. When I open the exe file, I only see the PE.

It might be about that newer dotnet versions compiles into native code directly, what's the target framework of your file?

The target framework of the file is .NET 4.0. It could be correctly decompiled before installing Visual Studio 2022, but the problem appeared after the installation. Additionally, I can decompile it using dotPeek, but the code from dotPeek is not as good as that from dnSpy. I believe the decompiled code from dnSpy is very close to the original source code. I highly suspect that the installation of VS2022 has somehow affected the environment for dnSpy. Tomorrow, I will try testing on a VPS to see if dnSpy can correctly decompile the target file without VS2022 installed. I will update you with the test results then. Thank you!

Without access to the file I cannot assess the problem. Please provide it to me on github or via email [email protected]
