Version
What version are you using?

  • Stable release (version here)
  • [X ] WIP release (2957370f net48; basically all starting from d1529f42)

Build
What runtime version are you using?

  • .NET Framework 4.7.2 running on (Operating System)
  • .NET Framework 4.8 running on (Windows 10)
  • .NET Core 3.1 running on (Operating System)

Describe the issue
Before calling one of the included sub-programs (like DiscImageCreator.exe) it should be checked if they exist. Win10 Defender really enjoys deleting the new DiscImageCreator version. The "Start Dumping" button pretty much becomes a no-op then (except for a single log entry) and leaves you completely in the dark on why MPF does not work.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download a build with DIC version 20210102 on Windows 10
  2. Extract MPF
  3. Completely ignore the Windows notification (like all other useless notifications)
  4. Press "Start Dumping"
  5. Try multiple versions of MPF and wonder for a really long time why it won't do anything
  6. Hate Windows

Expected behavior
An error message (in the logs) that the program executable is not where it should be.

Screenshots
None

Additional context
None

edit: Happy issue 256!
