Hello everyone,

I have installed the stable release of 3D Slicer 5.8 on Windows 11 and added the Elastix extension. However, when I run it, I get the following error:  
**Command ‘elastix’ returned non-zero exit status 1.**

I have tested the same setup on Ubuntu, CentOS, Windows 10, and macOS **without** encountering this issue. It seems to be specifically related to Windows 11.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance!
