Confirmed fixed here as well. Thanks so much!

For others experiencing this, it seems to be 3.52 and up. 3.50 is still working fine for me on a windows system.

Same problem, also on xampp on windows. Every version above 3.50 crashes.

This path and filename in the error show it’s completely mangled:

[27-Dec-2023 20:58:24 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: C:[REDACTED]\wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery/templates\C:[REDACTED]\wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\templates\Thumbnails\default-view.php.php is not a valid MVC template in C:[REDACTED]\wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\src\Display\View.php:284

Yeah, the “updated” design is pretty awful in every aspect. With the removal of the superior legacy view in 6.0 I have frozen my events calendar plugin version and am blocking all future updates on it. I have spent hours trying to make the new views look nice and actually functional and I’m done wasting my time with it.

Thank you for the link! 5.1 is a pile of hot garbage; it’s completely broken

Thanks for this fix. This bug is pretty critical in that it breaks the most commonly used method of updated wordpress sites, using the built-in ftp functionality.
Took me quite a while to find this page with the fix to get updating working again.
Such a critical bug like this should have really been caught by WordPress QA before release :-\
Guess it’s fixed now though. Thanks.
