Research direction

Reproduce the reported wingetcreate update command with the Screenpresso MSI URL and version 2.1.15. Capture the complete error text rather than relying on the screenshots, then trace the installer parsing path from the command entry point. Done means this package is parsed successfully or the failure is reported with a clear actionable error.
