Cypress not running from Custom browser path

[PrashamN]

Current behavior

I am trying to run msedge version 120 and above from G drive on windows 10(2022 server edition). I get following error while running this. However, if I copy this browser to C drive(path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeCore\Edge 126.0\msedge.exe), the tests run successfully.
Note: I am able to successfully run browser from the custom path. Also, this only occurs for msedge, I tried different browsers from G drive and they worked.

Desired behavior

I should be able to run cypress test from whatever custom path I provide. There shouldn't be a limitation that the browser should be in C drive only.

Test code to reproduce

Pick any cypress test and try running it in windows 10/11 2022 edition on browser ms edge version 120+. Keep browser in some other drive than the primary hard drive(C drive) and give the browser as custom path while running the cypress tests.
