If you get any kind of error that says "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" then the issue is likely a problem with the .NET framework installed on your PC.

As the Dymo Label Software is dependent on .NET Framework 3.5, it is possible that the error you are experiencing is in relation to this. In the first instance try the following solution:

Disconnect the LabelWriter from the PC
Download the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool.
Allow the tool to apply its recommended settings.
Once the repair is finished, reboot the computer.
Re-install the Dymo Label Software, reconnect the Labelwriter when prompted

I followed the above instructions, but they didn't work. However, what did work was running the Dymo Software as 'Administrator'.

I followed the above the procedure didn't fixed my issues. My resolution at the end steps were.
1. Un-Install Dymo Label Writer Software
2. Go to Control Panel - Remove Dymo printer
3. Go to Print Server Properties (highlight any existing printer Print server properties will appear underneath address bar
4. Remove Dymo driver
5. Restart computer
6. Re-install Dymo Label Writer software

Hope this help

Try using version 8.5.1
it's ok for me, i think is a error about framework
the apps need a old version of framework
we are not able to do custom install

Assuming you have .NET working properly, the answer to this error is to goto the Dymo website and find your (likely older) printer unit and download the Windows 7 / Vista driver and install into windows 10. Then install the latest version of the software.
