Building Projects: [Windows VM] Steam IDE cannot run the game if there's a pre_project_step.bat script in the project

[KeeVeeGames]

Description

No matter what's the content of the bat file, the very existence of it is making unable to Run (F5) the project:

C:\Users\...\GameMakerProjects\SteamBatBug\pre_project_step.bat 
The given key (platformConfig) was not present in the dictionary.
Igor complete.
elapsed time 00:00:00.1886729s for command "C:\ProgramData\GameMakerStudio2\Cache\runtimes\runtime-2024.4.1.202/bin/igor/windows/x64/Igor.exe" -j=8  -options="C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\GameMakerStudio2\GMS2TEMP\build.bff" -v -- Windows Run started at 05/23/2024 15:05:47
FAILED: Run Program Complete

Building as executable is working.

I did not test the other batch scripts variants available to run.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open the project in any Steam IDE 2024.2.0 onwards
2. Run it with the matching runtime

Yes, I see the same. The "alternative launcher on Steam" checkbox in Game Options > Windows has no effect on the outcomes here.

Non-Steam IDE works just fine with that project and performs the batch file correctly:

Options: C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\GameMakerStudio2\Cache\GMS2CACHE\SteamBatBu_F3222D99_D7A58158\preferences.json
C:\Users\...\GameMakerProjects\SteamBatBug\pre_project_step.bat 

C:\Program Files\GameMaker Studio 2>echo hello 
hello

C:\Users\...\GameMakerProjects\SteamBatBug\pre_project_step.bat DONE (0)

IDE v2024.2.0.132 Steam Runtime v2024.2.0.163 gives the same result.

Prior to that, this build step was not supported (and so this project will run fine in Nov23 or LTS, etc.)

Verified fixed as of IDE v2024.6.0.154 Steam Runtime v2024.6.0.204
