Error "Could not create child process" and "No such file or directory" #259

Describe the bug
Just installed CDP and SoundThread, following video tutorial. Whenever I've tried to run a thread, I get the same errors and no output. I first get the error "could not create child process" and exit code 9, then "no such file or directory" and code 256. I've tried several different output folders and no luck. This might not be related, but also whenever I try to run a CDP program .exe it tells me that the file is damaged and I should delete it. My gut instinct is that it's a user error but I'm at a loss here so any help would be appreciated.

To Reproduce
Run any thread, receive same error.

Expected behavior
Normal output file
