GitVersion 5.1.x fails on Windows

[knoxi]

I am using GitVersion 5.1.2 on a Windows 10 Pro 1903 VM (Build Agent) and it fails with:

C:\tools\GitVersion\5.1.2\GitVersion.exe
Error:
  An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (GitVersion.deps.json) was not found:
    package: 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder', version: '3.0.0'
    path: 'lib/netcoreapp3.0/Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder.dll'

With GitVersion 5.1.1 it fails with:

C:\tools\GitVersion\5.1.1\GitVersion.exe
The application to execute does not exist: 'C:\Users\Build\AppData\Local\Temp\.net\GitVersion\wqpiv0bz.rqg\GitVersion.dll'.

Does someone has an idea?

Same error here as the original post, GitVersion 5.1.3 running on Windows 10 Enterprise (10.0.16299)

This problem still exists in 5.1.3.

On day 1 GitVersion did exactly what i hoped... en after the weekend it just stopped with this error.

Edit:
Clearing the TMP folder did fix it for me for now.

Thanks for that important tidbit of information, @Sventric. Does this also fix the problem for you, @mattsalmon, @jfaixo, @knoxi?

Same issue with GitVersion 5.1.3 on MacOS Sierra. Restarting the OS fixes it for some time, than it breaks again.

Looks like it's related to the path where the single executable file gets extracted.
We can override the path by setting DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DI env var https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/upgrade/upgrade-2016-to-2019
