If this is a self-contained application, that library should exist in [C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\.net\UCL.Tools.IdlePreventer\wrv4et2e.iso\]. If this is a framework-dependent application, install the runtime in the global location [C:\Program Files\dotnet] or use the DOTNET_ROOT environment variable to specify the runtime location or register the runtime location in [HKLM\SOFTWARE\dotnet\Setup\InstalledVersions\x86\InstallLocation].
