Have an issue with an application that we converted from PowerBuilder 8.0.1 to version 2021 build 1311..
the application converted with no issues.
when i run the application via the PowerBuilder IDE the application works fine.
Originally I deployed the application as a 64bit exe (and it built fine and I was able the fire up the .exe).. As it turns out we needed to deploy at a 32 bit .exe.. the .exe gets built but when I try to run it i get the following error, and then the .exe disappears 
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate
permissions to access the item."
I can switch between 64 bit and 32 bit and 64 bit always builds the .exe and I am able to run the application, 32 bit always give the same error and then the .exe disappears.
the folder where the .exe is built has no permission restrictions
I exported the BuildFile for both 32 and 64 bit and this is the only difference between the  files
32 bit code:
"CodeGenerationOptions": {
 "Platform": 0,
 "//": "0: 32-bit",
 "//": "1: 64-bit",
 "32Bit": {
64 bit code:
"CodeGenerationOptions": {
 "Platform": 1,
 "//": "0: 32-bit",
 "//": "1: 64-bit",
 "32Bit": {
I have googled the error message and none of the Windows solutions pertains..
