I’m seeing this error with 7.93

Installing version 7.92 of nMap solved the error.

For reference, here is the link to download it: https://nmap.org/dist/nmap-7.92-setup.exe

I’m seeing this error with 7.93

Can confirm that this bug still exists in the latest version.

Just had this issue with 7.93, doing the workaround and downgrading just noting this is still an issue.

Same Error on 7.93, download 7.92 will fix it
