Hi. Nice work. I'm really enjoying your app. I ran into the same problem with the permissions error as a couple other folks when trying to run this under Windows. Whether running it under MSYS2 or python for Windows I'd always get the same permissions error.

I decided to give WSL2 a shot and got it working quite well. In order to get the app to work in WSL2 I had to edit line 307 of the gui.py file located in the hdfm/src directory. I have the nrsc5.exe and the libnrsc5.dll located on my D: drive in a folder called nrsc5. So, I modified line 307 to read: '/mnt/d/nrsc5/nrsc5.exe'

For users who have the nrsc5.exe in different location, just change the above to match the correct folder location. WSL2 accesses the Windows file system using the path /mnt/c for the C: drive and /mnt/d for the D: drive and so on, so just append the correct path to the /mnt/ and you'll have no problems.

I guess this is no longer applicable since hdfm has been rewritten in Rust. Thanks for providing the info though; didn't know the old version was runnable through WSL.
