Motor pilot application not starting

I have installed MCSDK 6.4.1

I can run the workbench (MotorControl Workbench_6.4.1) without any problem.
But i cannot run the Motor pilot application.
At first there was an error stating "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found Reinstalling the program may fix this problem"

I then installed "Microsoft Visual c++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) 14.44.35211

This error is not present anymore but nothing is starting when clicking on the motor pilot icon, no new window appears. I tried reinstalling the mcsdk without any change observed.
I can see the following in the MotorPilot.log :
