I want to upgrade a TW database using twdeployerGUI.exe (2024-2) (the Upgrade option in TW Deployer). However, as soon as I click the Connect button, I get an error.

Error log:
System.BadImageFormatException:

This is a new laptop, and it’s the first time I’m starting TW Deployer on it.
It concerns a local SQL Server 2022 installation.
I’ve also tried using an ‘sa’ SQL account and the server name (local) — both result in the same error.
All SQL protocols are active, so it should be able to connect via Shared Memory or TCP/IP. Other applications using SQL databases work fine.
I can also start our TW application (the one I’m trying to update) without any issues.
