Research direction

Start by reproducing the stub installer steps and inspect the Download and Install directories under C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Update. Trace where brave_installer-x64.exe is downloaded or copied, then verify the installer leaves only the intended file location and add or run the relevant installer checks if available.
