What happened?

The 7.2.6 installation application just can't launch on my Windows 11 ARM host. It exit immediately I start installation application.

How can we reproduce this?

Just start the installation on Windows 11 ARM host.

Did you upload all of your necessary log files, screenshots, etc.?

• Yes, I've uploaded all pertinent files to this issue.

Can you please provide screenshots and/or a short video for this? Do you mean the installer .exe itself?

[Colin-Y0470]

Yes. And the size of the installer is much smaller than last version (7.2.4, 116MB vs 169MB), it's similar to 7.1.16 (119MB). I'm afraid that ARM64 components are not included (amd64 part works nomally).

I think we found and fixed the error, and will provide a new package soon.

Thanks. With the new installer, the problem fixed.
