TypeInitializationException popping up every time Linqpad 5 starts

Lately on every startup of Linqpad 5 v5.33.10 on Windows 7
I'm getting the following exception that will not stop popping up
TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Composition.Hosting.Core.ExportDescriptorProvider' threw an exception.

Looking in Regedit (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full) I see that
the REG_DWORD value is 461814
where according to MS :
.NET Framework 4.7.2 installed on all other Windows OS versions 461814

What am I doing wrong?
is the framework too high ?

Thx

  • SOLVED ...... I dumped .NET Framework 4.7.2 and got .NET Framework 4.7
    works now
  • LINQPad should run fine on .NET Framework 4.7.2 (I'm running it myself). Perhaps the installation was corrupt?
