example/widgets-gallery packaged+installed crashes on Windows 10

[ehealthexperts-rk]

In order to hunt down performance issues customers experienced on Windows 10 I tried to give them a plain app from the official examples as windows installer. As example I chose the widgets-gallery and followed the simple gradlew :desktop:package from the README. gradlew :desktop:run worked fine.

I could install the resulting msi. However when I executed the installed exe the UI did not show up and the launched process disappeared in the task manager. The same happened with the todo-app. I also changed the TargetFormat from MSI to EXE, installed via the exe installer but could not launch the app. Unfortunately I don't know if or where logs would be written to determine what was actually failing.

I tried to build the app first within a virtualbox windows image (Version 1809 build 17763.1935 with an AdoptOpenJdk 16 Hotspot) and later on a "real" Windows PC (Version 21H1 build 19043.1110 with an Oracle OpenJdk 16.0.2) with the same result.

As I remember the try in virtualbox was first with the code version of v0.5.0-build262 while on the real PC was the master code from today (around v1.0.0-alpha4-build318).

Can you confirm the issue?
