3.25.3.0 appears to work ok.

Did you have CS-Script previously installed?

As part of the troubleshooting can you please check what your css_config.xml has as an alternative compiler.

It supposed to have %CSSCRIPT_DIR%\lib\CSSRoslynProvider.dll

1. Just to clarify, this is on windows
2. I just unzipped the 7z file and ran
3. There is no css_config.xml except in the linux directory

Great, thank you. Will provide the fix very soon.

[oleg-shilo]

The problem is caused by the mistake in the routine responsible for loading default code provider (absence of css_config.xml). This error affects the cases when CS-Script was not installed (I assume your case) but a raw cscs.exe is used.

I changed the issue into "Defect".

[oleg-shilo]

Can you please test v3.26.1.0. It supposed to fix the issue.

Works! Thanks!
