An error occurred after copying to desktop

#1

After I fininshed the installation, I copyed sublime_text.exe from
C:\Program Files\Sublime Text to the desktop.
These errors occur when I launch it from desktop:
%E6%93%B7%E5%8F%961
However, there is no error when launching in C:\Program Files\Sublime Text
How do I solve these problems?

OS:windows 10
Sublime Text version:Build 4126

Just use a shortcut?

More specifically, Sublime uses the location of the executable to know where the package files it ships with are, so just moving the binary around is most definitely Not Right ™ and not a thing you should be doing.

If you want an icon you can click on your desktop, then as @jfcherng mentioned, use a shortcut.

If for some reason you physically want Sublime on your desktop, then either install it directly into a folder on your Desktop or use the Portable version, which you can put anywhere you like (the directory as a whole, not just the binary).

However, most likely what you want here is the shortcut.
