The problem:

I have an application based on ElectronNET.API 5.22.13 and NET.Core 2.1 (ElectronNET.API requires this version).

The new version ElectronNET.API 5.22.14 is released and I need to upgrade my app to this package.
It requires NET Core 2.2. I have changed the NET Core 2.1 -> NET Core 2.2 in the project properties, then updated the ElectronNET.API to 5.22.14.
Then try to run

electronize start
the app is built but it hangs at >...\obj\Host\node_modules.bin>electron.cmd "....\main.js"
what is wrong?
I have checked folder
\obj\Host\node_modules.bin
It contains less files than usually.

How to fix it:

Delete the folder \obj\Host.
Uninstall global packages with

npm uninstall electron electron-builder --global

After these actions:

electronize start
and app runs successfully(!)

This still applies, and should definitely have a more prominent place, perhaps in the readme?

Outdated - use ElectronNET.Core and ElectronNET.Core.AspNet.

See Wiki / What's New.
