Research direction

Start with the manifests under manifests/g/Google/Chrome/131.0.6778.205 and compare them with manifests/g/Google/Chrome/EXE. Review how the repository organizes package identifiers and directories, then move the requested version into an MSI directory and update its identifier to Google.Chrome.MSI. Done means the metadata is located under the requested path with the new identifier and remains consistent with the existing EXE layout.
