Additional context i tried to resolve the error by running the app with administrator privileges and trying to open it after moving it to a separate drive, as well as an external pen drive. No luck, the program still gives the same error.

Hi @osamasaleem94

I've never seen this before, do you have an antivirus running? I'm thinking that It may have blocked the execution

Hey, thanks for the response. And yes, I use Windows Defender. I disabled it completely before trying to open the program when I got the error. Still no luck.

Have you already tried to redownload the executable with antivirus and windows defender disabled?
