Failed to run file

Error:
Failed to execute process 'cap2hccapx.exe'. Reason:
exec: Exec format error
The file 'cap2hccapx.exe' is marked as an executable but could not be run.
Are you running this from Linux or WSL? exec: Exec format error looks like an error you might see on Linux. It appears that you are trying to run the Windows binary (cap2hccapx.exe). You need to be running the Linux binary if you are in fact using Linux.
Try heading over to the hashcat-utils releases page and downloading the latest release. You are going to want the latest release. Make sure you download the .7z file, avoid the files that say source code next to them. Extract the files and run ./cap2hccapx.bin. You may need to make the file executable first with chmod +x ./cap2hccapx.bin.
If this fails, there are online services that allow you to convert cap to hccapx online. I would recommend searching cap to hccapx hashcat. Obviously, it would not be wise to upload anything too sensitive to one of these services. In any case, please report back. It will help in determining if there is a bug in the code that needs to be fixed.
Hope that helps!
