Stimulsoft Designer 2018 doesn't work after .NET Fw update

Hello
After the last update to the .NET framework the 2018 designer desktop app crashes on launch (no useful informations, the textarea is completely blank), while the 2019 one works fine.
I'm aware that I should switch to the new version of the designer, I have both installed, but I prefer to use the old version since it's the same one of the reports.web libraries I use on my project, to avoid possible incompatibilities until I'll update the libraries on the project.
If you ensure me that a report made/modified with 2019 still works with the 2018 dlls then I'll switch to the new designer version, if not, then I'll try to use the web designer meanwhile, since updating the libraries in the project is a bit tricky.

Hello,

Please try to remove the settings folder by the following path:
[C]:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Stimulsoft\

Thank you.

Thank you for the reply, but it doesn't seem to work.
I got the stack trace of the error:

Code: Select all

   in Stimulsoft.Base.Design.StiPropertyGrid..ctor()
   in Stimulsoft.Report.Design.StiReportPropertyGrid..ctor()
   in Stimulsoft.Report.Design.Panels.StiPropertiesPanelService.Init(StiDesignerControl designer)
   in Stimulsoft.Report.Design.StiDesignerControl..ctor(StiReport report, Boolean isRibbonGuiMode)

Hello,

It is difficult to say why it happens. Please try to use the last release version.

Thank you.
