The previous gnatstudio release (20220512) runs fine. Anyone else seeing this issue?

so the error starts after loading the clipboard

Some extra details. I installed the latest version on my old Windows 8.1 PC and there it runs fine. I noticed that the downloaded executable on both PC was equal in size (279.691 KB) but the folders after installation had different sizes. The working version had 17.030 Files, 1.827 Folders while the failing version had 16.866 Files, 1.808 Folders. I simply copied the working version folder over to the Windows 11 machine and ran the copied folder without issue.

A file comparison with WinMerge shows that most of the differences are pycache but the most interesting ones (presumably) are:

\registry-gnatstudio-24.0 -system.reg \registry-gnatstudio-24.0 -user.reg \lib\gdk-pixbuf-2.0\2.10.0\loaders.cache (different file size) \share\glib-2.0\schemas\ (8 files were missing !) \bin\default.gpr \bin\gpsauto.cgpr

I then proceeded to ignore the pycache and copy files over one by one from the copied folder to the failed folder and see when gnatstudio from the failed folder would run.

\lib\gdk-pixbuf-2.0\2.10.0\loaders.cache (different file size 1kb vs 3 kb) \share\glib-2.0\schemas\ (8 files were missing !) \bin\default.gpr \bin\gpsauto.cgpr

After copying these files it works. Any idea why my Windows 11 machine has a different installation folder than my Windows 8.1 machine?

I did an installation of 24.0w with 35 students and none of them had this issue. Closing this issue as this is likely a very specific issue with my workstation. It can be fixed with the workaround described above.
