Thanks for the report.  Mosè, it seems the error comes from the code you
added in commit 59ccf3416d53064785d3feee8bcbf8074612386a which checks if
the viewer executable actually exists.

Shawn uses windows where the viewer is "start".  Maybe that's some
internal command you cannot find with `executable-find'?  E.g.,
something like a shell builtin command like "alias" in bash/zsh?

Bye,
Tassilo
