Using AltCover 9.0.1 via dotnet tool install --global altcover.global.
My project is a very large C# .NET 4.8 desktop app with more than 2500 DLLs.

When cd-ing to my \bin folder and executing altcover.exe --verbose --dependency=C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\WindowsBase\v4.0_4.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\WindowsBase.dll I get an exception:

I've added various System.Drawing.Common.dll paths to --depedency, like "system.drawing.common\6.0.0\lib\net461\System.Drawing.Common.dll", but the error persist.

Workaround: I've removed all DLLs that referenced System.Drawing.dll, then re-added around 10 due to some other "file not found" error.
I think it won't be an acceptable solution since a few DLLs that I want instrumented; aren't now instrumented. But acceptable enough to continue evaluating AltCover. EDIT: But I have a hunch that my problem can be mitigated via --dependency or --assemblyExcludeFilter
