https://github.com/Shopify/cli/issues/2626 Someone mentioned the same problem in this link

@zane-wky I tried but it not working in my system

I found a solution to the issue. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Downloaded javy-x86_64-windows-v1.4.0.gz from the Javy GitHub releases page.

2. Extracted the file to get javy.exe.

3. Copied javy.exe to the directory: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\binarycache\Cache.

4. Renamed javy.exe to javy-v2.0.0 (removed the .exe extension).

5. Ran the project again, and it worked successfully.

These steps resolved the issue for me.

Hope this helps!

Im seeing the same error come from shopify app function build when trying to build a discount extension

Swapping in the binary from the Javy release page hasnt resolved it and neither has using the FORCE_RELEASE env var that is provided by Javy. Ive also deleted the javy binaries from the cache as mentioned here and here

Update

After trying the binary download and rename to no avail i was able to get a fix by doing the following

1. Invoke the javy binary directly via cmd not powershell
2. This gave me an error like below

   Administrator@ip-AC1F06F2 MINGW64 ~/AppData/Local/binarycache/Cache
   $ ./javy-v2.0.0
   C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Local/binarycache/Cache/javy-v2.0.0: error while loading shared libraries: VCRUNTIME140_1.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

3. a quick google told me the missing .dll was provided by microsoft via this redist
4. downloaded and installed the latest for my arch
5. build runs successfully using the latest javy version without any binary renames or manual downloads.

Installing Visual C++ Redistributable appears to be the right solution — I would not recommend renaming binaries as there are great things in Javy 2.0 that you will want to take advantage of.

We are looking into why this dependency was introduced and whether we can remove it.

I've opened https://github.com/bytecodealliance/javy/pull/670 and I've confirmed that it fixes the issues and restores the behavior of the previous version (which doesn't require installing Visual C++).
