Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with winget install Ventoy and Ventoy2Disk on Windows, then compare that installation with the working SourceForge version. Confirm whether the packaged version or its metadata accounts for the repeated install progress and unusable USB, and document a reproducible result and the affected package details as done.
