Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with Windhawk where every time I attempt to download or install a mod, I encounter the following error message:

Compilation failed, the mod might require a newer Windhawk version
I am currently using the latest version of Windhawk (v1.5.1). Despite this, all mods fail to compile, and the same error appears for every mod.

Here are the troubleshooting steps I’ve already tried:

Updated Windhawk to the latest version.
Ran the program as an administrator.
Temporarily disabled all antivirus and firewall software (including Windows Defender).
Reinstalled the program completely.
Verified my system compatibility with Windhawk.
System Details:

Operating System: Windows 11.
Windhawk Version: 1.5.1.
Custom System Configurations: /No.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

Open Windhawk.
Attempt to download or install any mod from the library.
The error message mentioned above appears.
Expected Behavior:
The mod should install and function without issues.

Additional Notes:
If you need any logs or additional details to help troubleshoot this issue, please let me know.

Custom System Configurations: /No.

Windhawk works for many other users, so I assume there must be something different with your system that can explain it.

When the "Compilation failed" message pops up in the corner, Windhawk also opens a log popup with additional logs. Does it contain any logs? Can you post the screenshot of the full Windhawk window when the error is shown?

I see that the log is empty. I saw it happening for users who have an antivirus which kills the compiler. You said that you tried disabling your antivirus, but I can't think of any other explanation. What's antivirus are you using?

Windhawk runs the following executable for the compiler:

C:\Program Files\Windhawk\Compiler\bin\g++.exe

If you open cmd and run it, does it work? Do you see any output?
