Description
Thought I had awoke to a wonderful day when I saw "new release v0.7.0b":) Only for MAC...
We have not been able to use Web2Exe at all this year (or most of last year) in classroom projects. Running Win 10 and all computers attempting to run a compiled software from Web2Exe show:

Does not matter what we compile, even simple HTML only page produces above error. Error appears right after clicking on .exe - Have tried about everything found to correct issue, but no luck so thinking it must be Web2Exe?
Anyone else experience this issue and found a solution? We would love to start using Web2Exe again in classroom:)
Just so clear, Web2Exe starts and runs fine, it is the complied software that has issues.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Windows 10 with the simplest HTML-only project compiled through Web2Exe, then inspect the generated .exe and the 0xc0000142 failure. Done means identifying why compiled software fails immediately while Web2Exe itself runs and confirming that a generated executable launches successfully.
