SNS-HDR Lite does not run

I wonder if anybody could help me with this problem. I downloaded SNS-HDR Lite to try it out. After installing the software I started the program but all I saw was a DOS box with the following text.
=========================================================================
The command line syntax:
SNS-HDR Pro.exe [OPTION_1] ... [OPTION_N] SOURCE_IMAGE_1 ... [SOURCE_SIMAGE_N]

Processing options:
-da Disable alignment
-dd Disable ghosts reduction
-pm 360 Panorama mode

Image size reduction options:
-x1 -x2, ..., -x8

Presets options:
-default -interior -landscape -ldr -natural -neutral -night

Output image options:
-jpeg JPEG format (default)
-tiff8 TIFF 8-bit format
-tiff16 TIFF 16-bit format
-srgb Convert image to sRGB color space
-o PATH Output file name
-ee PATH Opening image in external editor

Example:
SNS-HDR Pro.exe -pm -landscape -jpeg -srgb -o H:\DstImage.jpg H:\SrcImage.tif
Press any key to continue . . .
===============================================================================
When I press the "Any Key" nothing happens. I have installed Microsoft Dot Net Framework version 4.6.2. Running Windows 10 Pro. See screen dumps.

Any help would be much appreciated. Kind regards. Robert Lebert

You drag and drop the images on the SNS-HDR file icon.

It looks like you have an exe file on the desktop. You should have a shortcut to the exe file.

The Lite version does not have a graphical interface.

Perhaps this will help those using SNS-HDR Lite 2 without a GUI...

...1) Create a Desktop program link to "C:\<path>\SNS-HDR.exe"

...2) Right click on the Desktop shortcut and left click 'Properties'

...3) Add desired program 'Options' after "...\SNS-HDR.exe" of the Target box and left click Apply

...4) Drag and Drop from a 'Source Folder' an input image or image exposure set

...5) Program will execute [load, merge, tone-map] and save the Output Image in the 'Source Folder' with the suffix *-HDR_TonemapPreset.*

In the following illustration, selected program Options are: 1) as there is only one Source Image, disable alignment and disable ghosts reductions; 2) no size reduction; 3) landscape tone-map preset; and 4) 16-bit tiff, sRGB output...

P.S. There is/was a little known batch-processing GUI for SNS-HDR Lite 1 that works for version 2 as well when the Options have a one for one match... ...unmatched Options are ignored. Its link is/was: [SNS-HDR Lite Batch GUI v1.0.0.0, 35KB] at: http://www.sns-hdr.com/files/SNS-HDR_Lite_GUI.zip if still on the server.
