Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported msiexec /qn /norestart installation with QuickLook-4.5.0.msi on Windows 11, then compare its behavior with a non-silent installation. The work is done when QuickLook starts automatically after the silent installation without changing the reported installation command's intended behavior.
