@lloyduss UPDATE:

After some debugging, I’ve figured out what’s most likely causing the issue.

When I try to launch my “HISE Debug.exe” build, Visual Studio throws this error:

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FF70655F7C6 in HISE Debug.exe: 0xC000001D: Illegal Instruction

It seems that this happens because I’m running Windows 11 ARM inside Parallels Desktop on an Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2), while the build targets x64 (Intel).

In other words, HISE is compiled for an Intel CPU, but my Windows installation is ARM-based — and that mismatch causes the app to crash immediately on launch.

So now I’m wondering:
Is there a way to make HISE fully compatible with Windows ARM (maybe by compiling it as ARM64 in Visual Studio)?
Or do I absolutely need to use a computer or virtual machine running a proper x64 Windows environment to get HISE working correctly?

Any insights or workarounds would be super appreciated.
