It maybe failed to set the executable bits on that dll, but I am not sure why that could have happened only for this one computer

Is it reproducible on other Windows machines? Perhaps it is an issue with the Cairo Yggdrasil recipe.

[SimonEnsemble]

other students with Windows are able to run CairoMakie.jl just fine!

I posted this issue to CairoMakie, first, actually.
MakieOrg/Makie.jl#3568

Maybe the student has some heavy security settings in windows? See if wiping the .julia and reinstalling helps. Another possibility might be try WSL.

Sounds like a duplicate of #52272 which I have no idea why it was closed without any action.

[giordano]

I wonder if this is related to JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#3349, because according to #52272 this issue doesn't occur if installing the same artifact through Julia v1.9.

Closing as duplicate of #52272, there's no point in keeping multiple tickets about the same issue open.
