Hi, I am completely new to Kafka and all that. I tried to install Confluent CLI on my Windows 11 46-bit machine. But I am getting this error when I run confluent.exe: “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application” How can I get this sorted out? Or if you could please guide me to the right resource? ---

Hi Anjum, which version of Confluent CLI are you running exactly? It works fine on my Intel Windows 11 machine with v3.64.0, did you try that one? ---

Hi @gphilipp Thank you for your response. I downloaded the latest version which is same as yours. Not sure why its not running. I even tried compatibility mode, which also didn’t work. ---

@anjum could you please try `v3.63.0` and report back? [Release v3.63.0 · confluentinc/cli · GitHub](https://github.com/confluentinc/cli/releases/tag/v3.63.0) ---

Hello, As per my knowledge you can go with these steps - **Check Requirements** : Ensure your system meets Confluent CLI’s specs. - **Reinstall** : Get the latest version from Confluent’s site and reinstall. - **Update** : Make sure Windows and drivers are up to date. - **Disable Security Software** : Temporarily turn off antivirus/firewall. - **Run as Admin** : Right-click `confluent.exe` \> “Run as administrator”. - **Check Logs** : Look in Event Viewer for specific errors. - **Community Help** : Visit Confluent forums or GitHub for more tips. - **Contact Support** : Reach out to Confluent for further assistance. In hope this will help you, Thank you ---

Glad that’s working for you. The CLI team identified an issue impacting the Windows CLI build in `v3.64.0`. I’ll update this thread when a fix is published. ---
