Description

`VM-Install-From-Zip` can install .exe in a ZIP, but we are also using it for `.bat` and `.py`. I think this is ok, as it allows us to reuse the same code, but we should document better the different installer helper function and also the issue template.

Research direction

Locate the VM-Install-From-Zip helper and the issue template, then read the surrounding installer helper documentation. Document the supported .exe, .bat, and .py use cases and clarify the different helper functions and issue-template expectations; the work is done when those uses are understandable from the updated documentation.
