I had the same problems and solved it by installing NET 5 and VC2010 redist.
Installation instructions
Download this application from the itch.io client.
You will need .NET 5, .NET Framework 4.6 to run the editor and VC2010 redist to run the games created with it,
Windows 10 is strongly recommended, although it will work on any system with .NET 5.
