Description

App tries to install Dokan_redist even if Dokan already installed in system.
So i have my K: drive K: drive

even with unchecked settings. settings

I believe that app should check for Dokan already installed in system.

Btw, version 1.1.0.2000 that app tries to install is also unstable for use with winsshfs, more common app for Dokan framework...

Research direction

Start at the Explorer integration and the code path that installs Dokan_redist, then inspect how the unchecked setting is handled. Verify behavior when Dokan is already installed and confirm that the app does not force version 1.1.0.2000 or disrupt an existing K: drive.
