👋 Hello, I just wanted to open a small issue I recently encountered when reviewing an ESE database on Windows 11 version 24H2.

Attempting to run esedbinfo and esedbexport on a Windows 11 24H2 ESE db results in both tools returning errors

./esedbinfo qmgr.db 
esedbinfo 20240420

Unable to open: qmgr.db.
libesedb_page_read_tags: invalid number of page tags value out of bounds.
libesedb_page_read_values: unable to read page tags.
libesedb_page_read_file_io_handle: unable to read page values.
libesedb_io_handle_read_page: unable to read page.

libesedb_file_open_file_io_handle: unable to read from file handle.

Attached the qmgr.db file that triggers the error

Other ESE parsers also had issues with Windows 11 24H2 and needed to be updated.
I used the ESE format documentation alot when making my own ESE parser, so I just wanted to give you a heads up about this issue.

Let me know if more info is required
