Description
### Details
dokan.vm is downloading a `msi` to the `C:\ToolsTools` directory and installing the tools to program files. I think it should instead use the `VM-Install-With-Installer` helper, creating a shortcut in the Tools desktop directory and installing the tool to `C:\Tools` if possible. @mandiant/commando-vm can you please confirm this is the case or add more context of why the package is implemented in this way?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the dokan.vm package and the VM-Install-With-Installer helper, focusing on the current MSI download and installation paths. Confirm whether the package should create a Tools desktop shortcut and install under C:\Tools; done means the expected behavior is documented or the package follows the confirmed installation approach.
