Additional context

To clarify, does the file exist before you attempt this action?

[Sunny-Engineer]

The file did exist after the installation. However, based on the suggestion in the error message, I deleted the file. The error message was the same after deleting the file.

I was not able to reproduce it on Mac. Will try on Windows.

Edit: Was not able to reproduce it on Windows 10 either.

Was not able to reproduce it, but the check should not actually exist so removed it
