Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet/issues/120

I updated my apps using Qml.Net to the latest package versions (0.9.0):

Both wouldn't work on version 0.8.0 and 0.9.0 since I did not specify following line before using Qml.Net:

RuntimeManager.DiscoverOrDownloadSuitableQtRuntime();

Exception:

System.TypeInitializationException: 'The type initializer for 'Qml.Net.Internal.Interop' threw an exception.'

Inner Exception:

Exception: Couldn't find the native Qml.Net library.

Would be a nice add to the wiki pages imho.

Yeah, that isn't a good experience.

Maybe we should write to stdout a warning that a suitable runtime couldn't be found.

That would defenitely help the developer.

Is it required to call that method or are there other ways that it could work without?

It has to be called. Automatically downloading tars for the web inside of a static initializer is a bad idea IMO.

Also, some people using Qml.Net may want to use the runtime properly located in /usr/lib.

Yea indeed, calling RuntimeManager.DiscoverOrDownloadSuitableQtRuntime() solved my issue.
I followed this but no clue of that method here.

Thanks
