[racket] raco exe difficutly with Release 5.3.1 & stateless web server

It would be very helpful to run the exe from the Windows command line
and send me the output. My guess is that it opens, displays an error,
and then closes. If you ran from the shell, you'd be able read the
error. My guess is that the error will say that some file can't be
opened that is part of the configuration of the Web server and I
haven't properly communicated its need to the exe builder.
