I recently redid my older Toughbook with a fresh install of Win 7 x64 and had a tough time getting .NET 4.8 installed to satisfy the requirements of the latest stable version of VCM Suite. Got it installed finally and then installed VCM Suite. VCM Editor won't read any .hpt file without crashing. I tried win7 compatibility mode, tried running as admin, still crashing. Crash log looks like this:

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve it please? I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10 on my old Toughbook because it slows it down to a crawl, nor do I want to get a newer Toughbook because I can't afford a new one. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thank you.
