Version
What version are you using?

  • [ x ] Stable release (3.6.0)
  • [ x ] WIP release (3.6.0-89a50ea424dcafac266b62c0e049ec0eb0ea21b6)

Build
What runtime version are you using?

  • [ x ] .NET 10 running on Windows 11 25H2

Describe the issue
When the UI tries to execute the Redumper program, it immediately fails with this error

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (1223): An error occurred trying to start process "path to redumper.exe" with working directory "path to directory where redumper is located". The operation was
canceled by the user.

at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at MPF.ExecutionContexts.BaseExecutionContext.ExecuteInternalProgram()
at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunFromThreadPoolDispatchLoop(Thread threadPoolThread, ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Try to dump something.

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

The program not to be immediately stopped.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context
I looked up what that exception is linked to, and it does seem to be a permissions issue,
but running as administrator doesn't change anything.

Right click on Programs/Redumper/redumper.exe and check this "Unblock" and press apply.
