Adobe Lens Profile Creator - Memory issue

I have a pretty powerful BOXX PC at work running windows 10. I have a new lens by Laowa that does not have a lens profile so I want to create a lens profile for use in Lightroom. I downloaded Adobe lens profile creator 1.0.4  and installed. I printed the sheet, took 9 images as directed. Then I uploaded the images as unedited DNG file via lightroom. Then ran the Generate profiles and I get "Detect corners failed because out of memory. Please select fewer images and restart". I have since tried it with even one image and it fails. I tried it with jpgs and that didn't work either. I have 32GB of RAM and  I have maxed out the Camera Calibration Cache to 50GB. Still no luck. Any ideas?

My problem is a bit different. Over years, I created a number of camera profiles. Now - when I want to create a new one, or to load the existing one, I don't see the images/thumbnails at the bottom of the program. All pictures are black. No such problems when I view the same pics in other apps on my laptop (with Windows 10 PRO, 16GM RAM etc). I found a crappy workaround: I open Windows Sandbox, copy the program and all the necessay files to it and create the profile (the images are displayed  correctly),  then I copy the newsly created files back to my main disk. But it's annoying and I have no idea what causes the problem.

I believe your having memory issues because the Adobe lens profile creator 1.0.4 is a 32 bit

program and as such can only use around 3.2 gbs of ram (less than 4 gbs of ram).

Adobe says they are looking into a 64 bit version of the Lens Profile Creator.

Thank you for the suggestion, but the 64-bit OS does not appear to be the problem. I copied the image files as well as the installer for Adobe lens profile creator 1.0.4 to a Windows 7-32 bit virtual machine (4GB total memory available), ran the ptogram, and got the exact same "detect corners failed because out of memory. Plese select fewer images or restart the application"

Disappointing to see that nobody has addressed this question.  I was wanting to build profiles for the "antique" Leica M lenses that I tend to use on my A7R2. Same error, despite running on a very fast laptop with 32GB of available RAM.
