Hello,
I believe I have the same issue, when running the desktop version of my application. The app does launch and works as expected until I navigate to my Map screen, after which it crashes with the message:

My MSVC version is 14.42.34438.
For my IDE I use AndroidStudio, if this is relevant.
If needed i can also add the full log file or try to reproduce the issue in a new minimalistic version of my current project.

Thanks for the info!

C:\Users\zigaz\AndroidStudioProjects\PingPongParkinsonApp\composeApp\hs_err_pid31552.log

Yeah the log file hs_err_pid31552.log would be helpful, and a project I can download and attempt to repro as I haven't yet been able to repro this myself

Some additional info.
I created a new project with Jetbrains KMP wizard.
If I just add a Text using the default Main and App, and run ./gradlew :composeApp:run it open and all look good.
If try to add a simple MapLibreMap with camera initialized already, and:
MaplibreMap(
modifier = Modifier
.padding(top = 80.dp, bottom = 80.dp),
baseStyle = BaseStyle.Uri("https://tiles.openfreemap.org/styles/liberty"),
styleState = rememberStyleState(),
cameraState = camera,
)
It will work with Android, but with Desktop it throws this error:

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':composeApp:run'.

I'll have now found the problem!
It's the msvcp140.dll file as in the logs show it causing the problem, just remove or rename this file in Java JDK bin folder, in my case:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-24\bin\ msvcp140.dll
and "Desktop" map is working as expected.

[sargunv]

Oh that's an interesting find! so something about that msvcp140.dll is different
