Firepit Builds for Windows have been failing since 7.6.0

[REQUIRED] Environment info

Platform: Windows 10

firebase-tools: firebase-tools: The one provided over here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/#install-cli-windows

Platform:

[REQUIRED] Test case

I am just trying to launch the emulator

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

After downloading the firebase-tools-instant-win.exe and tried various commands with no difference

firebase-tools-instant-win.exe firebase init firebase-tools-instant-win.exe firebase login

I tried launching the emulator by double clicking, which prompted windows defender to confirm the action, which I rightly did and tried above the commands again thereafter as well.

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

Should launch the emulator or should give error/warning

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

I don’t see no any response from the above command.

Same issue here, however this occurred for me when moving firebase-tools-instant-win.exe between drives.

I have 4 physical drives, one of which is split into two partitions.

Drive A (Part1) - C:\ (I can copy here, and run successfully - this is my windows drive) Drive A (Part2) - F:\ (where the exe was originally run - and still works) Drive B,C,D - Copying the exe to any of these drives and running it results in the following error:

Same on Windows 10 with firebase-tools-instant-win.exe v8.1.1. 😢

First I run firebase-tools-instant-win.exe in cmd.exe as an admin and it output several lines about preparation. Every next invocation results with error quoted above.

–EDIT– Looks like firebase-tools-win.exe works just right in the same time.
