Hello, I downloaded the [code](https://github.com/openziti/ziti-tunnel-sdk-c/tree/v1.6.1) and built it locally on Windows using PowerShell with the following commands:

powershell

```auto
cmake --preset ci-windows-x64-vs2022 ..
cmake --build .

```

I then copied the generated `Debug` output into the [desktop-edge-win](https://github.com/openziti/desktop-edge-win/releases/tag/2.6.5) environment. However, when I run it, I encounter error **-1076**.

Interestingly, if I use the prebuilt [tunneler](https://github.com/openziti/ziti-tunnel-sdk-c/releases/tag/v1.6.1) binary, the error **-1076** does **not** occur.

Does this mean the error -1076 is caused by something wrong in my local build environment?

Thanks in advance for your support.

I build it locally all the time and I replace the binary all the time like this when doing development. Chat GPT tells me error -1076 means the service didn't start. It's hard to know exactly WHY that happened though. That you'll have to debug.

I'd recommend you:

- stop the ziti data service AND the ziti montior service:

- as administrator, run ONLY ziti-edge-tunnel locally for some amount of time:

- make sure it works

- copy/paste the exe into the installation directory (i always backup the 'original' ziti-edge-tunnel)

It's impossible for me to help more than this I'm afraid, it's just too broad of a problem at this time with the information you provided

Thanks. I'll keep building, and if I have new findings, I'll post them here.
