VMProtect Ultimate v3.9.4 build 2305 - "Method not found" error

[Zirak]

Hi,

I'm experiencing this error:
System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ServiceProvider Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ServiceCollectionContainerBuilderExtensions.BuildServiceProvider(Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.IServiceCollection)'.

Which can be replicated by creating a blank console project in .NET 8.0 and adding the Nuget Package Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
Then I added these two lines:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IServiceCollection services = new ServiceCollection();
ServiceProvider provider2 = ServiceCollectionContainerBuilderExtensions.BuildServiceProvider(services);
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
}

Then when I VMProtect the DLL and run it with the exe & runtime.json file with the protected DLL I encounter this error. I uploaded a sample project as reference.

Fixed in the 2325 build.

Hi,

I sent an updated project to you on telegram (31mb can't attach on forums). I seem to be getting this exception now:

Fixed in the 2329 build.

P.S. Also don't forget to put *.deps.json in the output folder.

Perfect that worked.
