Running a console application from the system32 folder

I made a piece of software that makes it possible for me to delete folders recursively through a console and what I want to do is make it possible to reach the program from any directory using CMD.EXE. When I try to copy the software to the System32 directory and then run it from CMD it gives me the following error:

unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application

I tried building it as a 64 bit program but that didn't change anything. Is there something wrong with my code or is it the way I'm building it?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • This is because the required .NET runtime you specified in your project options or in app.config file through <supportedRuntime> is not found in the system.

    In short, the targeted .NET runtime for your application is not found on the system.
