Call Python from C# (Error: Runtime.PythonDLL was not set or does not point to a supported Python runtime DLL)

Question

This is my code:

using Python.Runtime;
using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            // Set Python home and DLL paths
            PythonEngine.PythonHome = @"C:\Users\toto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311";
            Runtime.PythonDLL = @"C:\Users\toto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python311.dll";

            // Initialize the Python engine
            PythonEngine.Initialize();

            using (Py.GIL())
            {
                // Import and use Python modules
                dynamic sys = Py.Import("sys");
                Console.WriteLine($"Python version: {sys.version}");
            }

            // Shutdown the Python engine
            PythonEngine.Shutdown();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");
        }
    }
}

I'm getting this console print out

Error: Runtime.PythonDLL was not set or does not point to a supported Python runtime DLL. See https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet#embedding-python-in-net

C:\Users\toto\Desktop\C# Python\ConsoleApp1\ConsoleApp1\bin\Debug\net6.0\ConsoleApp1.exe (process 6368) exited with code 0 (0x0).

Things that I have tried: I tried different Python versions from 8 to 12, I downgraded Target framework form 8 to 6 and still no luck. How can I solve this? I looked at similar topics and their solutions do not work for me, please help

i removed "PythonEngine.PythonHome = @"C:\Users\toto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310";" and it worked.

using Python.Runtime;
using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            // Set Python home and DLL paths
            //PythonEngine.PythonHome = @"C:\Users\toto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310";
            Runtime.PythonDLL = @"C:\Users\toto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python310.dll";

            // Initialize the Python engine
            PythonEngine.Initialize();

            using (Py.GIL())
            {
                // Import and use Python modules
                dynamic sys = Py.Import("sys");
                Console.WriteLine($"Python version: {sys.version}");
            }

            // Shutdown the Python engine
            PythonEngine.Shutdown();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");
        }
    }
}
