Cannot load application on Windows (julia 1.6.0)

I've seen this on two different Windows 10 systems. This one is a Parallels VM, the other was a native Windows desktop.

Yes, the package manager on 1.6 is doing some (in my opinion) really unfortunate non-standard things with file permissions on Windows... I've updated the artifact so that this should be solved, but in my mind the root problem is that the package manager is now messing in a way with file permissions that is really not appropriate on Windows...

Thanks. Out of interest is there an issue tracking the Pkg permissions issues?
