Description

### What's the problem?

The Flare VM Package Installation Window that pop-ups during installation is vertically too long to fit in smaller display PCs (sometimes an issue in VM been spawned). While the window been big is not the real issue - scrolling to the bottom to click "Install" button or accessing any of the options at the bottom is not possible unless vertical height is not long enough.
I use a display VM with 1280x720 and the window does not fit in to click the "Install" button and doing the window resizing does not work. The scroll bar for the window is only in the package selection portion.

### Steps to Reproduce

Occurs during Flare VM installation

### Environment

- Virtualization Software: VMWare Workstation 17
- VM OS version: Windows 11 Pro

### Additional Information

The workaround for the issue is to change the resolution to fit in the UI.
Three possible solutions (not verified) to it:
- Add a scrollbar to the component outside the existing scrollbar for package selection to allow scrolling the main component.
- Move the lower configuration settings to the next window in the wizard.
- Make the UI components resolution dependent so that the package selection component resize based on resolution of the machine in which it is running.
