I've tried to update .net and have no issues with the console example using jsreport.Binary 2.9.0 or 2.11.0.

Could you try to download windows binary and render something from the console?

jsreport.exe render --template.content=sometext.html --template.recipe=chrome-pdf --template.engine=handlebars --out=out.pdf
