### What happened?

Under Windows 11, when triggering an uninstallation from the Apps settings, the installer runs, but shows error messages as below:

![323280638-486f03f3-640e-4e62-965e-899215ce8282](https://github.com/conda/constructor/assets/4989908/5b7f64ff-f5db-4ff3-b9c5-e0c07ab70e81)

When the uninstaller exits, no uninstallation has actually happened.

Executing the uninstaller exe manually works, as does installing through apps on Windows 10.

### Conda Info

```shell
Constructor version is 3.7.0 (if you suspect this to be a regression, I happily test with older versions).

The project can be found here: https://github.com/ssciwr/helios-installer

Pre-built installers for testing can be found here: https://heibox.uni-heidelberg.de/d/5672545fba1b4185a3be/
