Ah, there's your issue.

XTool is inherently a command line tool, Razor made xtoolui.dll for quick testing.

So, in your C:\XTool folder, you will see the ui load because xtoolui.dll is present. This dll is not a dependency to xtool.exe so you can move/delete it and then xtool.exe will function only in console mode.

Furthermore, you need the library for precompression to be in the same folder as xtool.exe in order for precompression to work. XTool won't read/search the _libraries folder for compression libraries.

So, by having xtool.exe and preflate_dll.dll in a single folder, you will have working precompression. Same goes for zlibwapi.dll for zlib, hif2raw_dll.dll+raw2hif_dll.dll for reflate, libzstd.dll, liblz4.dll etc..... all need to be in the same folder as xtool.exe for those codecs to work.
