Research direction

Start by reproducing the reinstall on Windows 11 in VirtualBox and capture where the installation process requests D:_VM\vm-packages.xml. Then trace the installation scripts or entry points that reference vm-packages.xml and Config.xml. Done means identifying the source of the path mismatch and verifying that a reinstall completes without the missing-file error.
