I ran into the same issue but after I disabled Windows antivirus it started to work. Re-enabling the Windows antivirus causes error to repeat.

Christian Antfeld 1 Reputation point2021-10-16T16:30:07.087+00:00 Great find, thank you. Worked for me too. Can confirm turning Windows AV on still breaks the app upon launching.
Turning off Real-Time Protection was enough if anyone wants to leave the rest of the stuff on in the Virus and Threat Protection submenu.

Jael6770 1 Reputation point2021-12-14T17:09:46.763+00:00 You can add an Exclusion to your Virus & Threat Protection settings so you don't have to leave the Real-Time Protection off. Be sure to use the full path to the icd.exe when adding the exclusion.

James Woods 6 Reputation points2022-03-29T02:40:20.043+00:00 I can also confirm that disabling Windows Defender Antivirus real-time protection fixed this problem for me. Go to Settings | Update & Security | Windows Security | Virus & threat protection, then click 'Manage Settings', and then disable Real-time protection.

Make sure you have updated your Windows.
Are you using SSD or HDD hard disk?

Ryan McCoy 1 Reputation point2021-09-28T18:16:40.437+00:00 Running into the same thing.
I'm not seeing the WICD folder in "C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\'
My guess is that it fails to write in during install or as an update on launch.I was trying this since the version in the ADK was giving me issues on company systems.

2021-09-28T18:34:33.78+00:00 Could be that the store version is the insider build im seeing in the ADK options or for server / win 11 maybe.
The current regular version of the ADK im seeing is for 2004 and the WICD version is 10.0.1904.1. The store version is 20xx.17xx

2021-10-05T12:41:10.257+00:00 I have the same problem. Tested on 3 different computers and I get the same message on every single one of them.
I have tried to reinstall, repair, etc with no luck.My colleague tried to install it, and he can run it with no problems. We have the exact same windows version etc...
