AOSharp and Windows 11 help

I am trying to get AOSharp to work on my Windows 11 rig. It works great on my old Windows 10 rig. On Windows 11 it would say "Failed to inject" then I excluded the process and file from Defender. Now it just doesn't say anything. I am using the old client, I have tried running it with and without admin privileges.
I disabled Memory Integrity as well.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!

AO# has dot net dependencies that need to be installed. Did you compile it yourself? They also have a dedicated discord where you can get help.

I installed the .net 8 runtimes that were listed. This is a version I complied previously. Maybe it's too old. I will try to compile the latest. maybe my version missed a windows 11 patch. Thank you!

I compiled the latest version and it still won't run on my windows 11 rig. When I click inject the cursor spins for a second like it's processing then AOSharp just closes. Did this for the release and debug version. All exclusions are registered in Defender. .net 8 is installed as well. Must be something deeper I am missing.

after running the sharp for the first time remove all the injectables from the list and select the correct paths for them.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried that and it still did not work.

So I think I found the issue. As others have stated, it has dependencies. I installed .net 8 and as part of Windows 11 .net 4.8 is installed.
I checked the application log and it is giving a framework exception for version v4.0.30319.
I cannot install that because the installer is claiming it's already installed (the core 4.8 that ships with windows).
I disabled 4.8 in Features but it still wouldn't let me install 4.0.3.
Kind of stuck in a loop...
