Research direction
Start by reproducing winget install --id NASM.NASM from a non-administrative console using the reported Windows Package Manager version. Then inspect the repository entry for NASM.NASM and its installer metadata to determine why winget reports success without installing files. Done means the package installs successfully without administrative privileges, or the issue is documented as requiring elevation.
