Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the reported SquirrelSetup.log and screenshots, then reproduce the installation on Windows 11 using Insomnia 9.2 or the latest available installer. Investigate why the installer reports failure and closes on the second attempt. Done means the application installs successfully and can be opened normally afterward.
