Description
been trying to build an exe after getting the source code before even touching it yet it seems as it almost always gives me similar errors
and the one time it did manage to build i couldn't run it as i kept getting this error:
Failed to load the launcher DLL: The specified module could not be found.
i don't know much coding at all so any help would be appreciated

Research direction
Start by reproducing the build from the unmodified source and review the errors shown in the attached screenshot. Then investigate the reported launcher DLL failure and determine which build or runtime condition prevents the executable from starting. Done means a clean source build completes and the resulting executable launches without the reported error.
