Same issue here, however this occurred for me when moving firebase-tools-instant-win.exe between drives.

I have 4 physical drives, one of which is split into two partitions.

Drive A (Part1) - C:\ (I can copy here, and run successfully - this is my windows drive) Drive A (Part2) - F:\ (where the exe was originally run - and still works) Drive B,C,D - Copying the exe to any of these drives and running it results in the following error:

Same on Windows 10 with firebase-tools-instant-win.exe v8.1.1. 😢

First I run firebase-tools-instant-win.exe in cmd.exe as an admin and it output several lines about preparation. Every next invocation results with error quoted above.

–EDIT– Looks like firebase-tools-win.exe works just right in the same time.

Hardcore Win pro chiming in here. I can confirm that firebase-tools-instant-win.exe does absolutely nothing. It creates an 11kb entry in \windows\prefetch and then instantly returns to command line. Zero. Zilch. Nada. No other file handles are being opened, no new processes are created. The executable is just one big fat 100MB NOP.
