"The application csc.exe failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application"

Some investigation reveals that the issue has to do with the .NET class XmlSerializer.

THE application stores user data into an XML file, which gets saved when the application is closed.

In particular, the following code seems to cause the problem:

Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer(ConfigObj.GetType())

Dim writer As New StreamWriter(datafile)

serializer.Serialize(writer, ConfigObj)

writer.Close()

csc.exe is creating temporary files in C:\Windows\Temp, which is

interrupted by the shutdown process, causing the above problem.

WINDOZE IS HOZED.

TIME FOR REINSTALL.

Start with a deep scan using malwarebytes (do so in safe mode, F8 before Windows loads)

www.malwarebytes.com (the free version is fine - you don't need the paid version).

yes, but how can I fix it? I don´t want to format and reinstall all the software
