Moving JWLMerge to .NET 5 (and then .NET 6) has been tricky! The application depends on the relevant .NET runtime which isn't automatically shipped with Windows. With the initial installer, I made no allowance for this, which meant user had to manually download the correct runtime. The Windows error message wasn't very helpful because it didn't provide details of which runtime was missing. There are several candidates, so I simply documented which one was required.
My second installer detected the missing runtime and automatically downloaded it during installation. This was an improvement, but a small number of users could not run JWLMerge even though the correct runtime was installed. So, the current pre-release (2.0.0.9) includes the .NET runtime in the installation of JWLMerge itself (in Microsoft terminology, it's a "self-contained" application). This explains the increase is download size!
I'm waiting to see if installation becomes less troublesome :)
