Dedicated server does not start - System.IO.FileLoadException

Greeting Space Engineers!

I'm trying to start a dedicated server on a new Windows 10 VM (deployed from Azure). It has all the latest updates installed and .NET 4.7. I copied the DedicatedServer.zip (from SpaceEngineers\Tools) over to the VM and extracted it.

However, when trying to start the dedicated server (by double clicking SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe) nothing happens.

When I look in the windows event viewer I see exceptions happening:

Code:

Application: SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe

Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Any idea what's going on here, anything I'm missing?

Thanks

 

Solved! I had to download the dedicated server through steamcdn instead of using the zip file under /tools.
