How to solve ERROR: IOError: could not spawn Electron?

I don’t know. My PC is lcoked down by my Corporate Masters so I can’t fiddle with it.

Other people with a similar problem, many years ago, have suggested turning off the Windows Firewall

Others suggest running as Administrator

Which might be why it works for me - I can’t turn off Admin for myself to try it, I won’t be able to turn it back on again
