RE: setup-x86_64.exe does not start in win10 20H2

["Kutty, Rejeesh" <Rejeesh.Kutty@analog.com>]

I uninstalled Beyond Trust with our IT help, rebooted, same behavior.

I then came upon another thread that talks about the compression.
I didn't build it, I just decompressed it and now setup-64bit works fine.
For some reason, 32bit doesn't have any of this problem.

If it is not too much of trouble, I would request that you provide an uncompressed version too.
The file size is not that bad, It came to be about 5MB only.

Perhaps,  suggest in the installation instructions to try in case it doesn't launch?

Thanks for all your help.

You will probably need to restart Windows after any changes in order to unload or reload DLLs and associated data.

Many of these apps have difficulty handling dynamic modification, cleanly removing themselves from the call or message chains they insert themselves into, transparently passing along arbitrary calls, data, events, or messages, especially when application code is multithreaded and reentrant using mutexes and waits.

Beyond Trust is on the Cygwin Big List of Dodgy Apps: poorly written (often so-called "anti-malware", "anti-virus", or "security") software that monitors, logs, blocks, and/or interferes with normal operation of many applications, with effects sometimes indistinguishable from malware, and known to prevent Cygwin working properly; see:

Beyond Trust has caused problems because its certs became outdated unless you kept the product and its certs updated. Try updating the product and check its certs are up to date in the cert store.
If that fails you may need to raise a case with the product vendor regarding Cygwin 64; especially useful to mention:
