Description

See https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/4173#issuecomment-3595853434.

Claude says:

The error code -1073741819 is the decimal representation of the Windows status code 0xC0000005, which means STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
This indicates the program tried to read from or write to a memory address it doesn't have permission to access.
