RustDesk encounters issues when installed to the default directory.

[zhenzhen122]

**First, thank you for providing such an excellent client generator. I recently discovered the new feature you implemented that enables the hidden connection window by default—this is a great addition. However, I encountered a peculiar issue during installation: when using the default installation path, attempting to install RustDesk a second time triggers a prompt stating, "the version you are installing is older than the currently running one." After proceeding with the default installation, RustDesk fails to launch properly, and the application window does not appear.

Interestingly, when I manually changed the installation path from the default C:\Program Files\ZhenDesk to C:\ZhenDesk during the first installation, everything worked as expected. I am curious about the root cause of this behavior and would like to know if it can be resolved. For verification, I performed a clean test on a newly set up Windows 10 virtual machine with no other interfering factors.**

try 'd with the a new installer to create a msi file
Maybe the service is still running ....
Could you test that ???

I'm more than willing to collaborate with you on testing.

Can you try uninstalliing the first try, and also remove the stuff from %appdata regarding rustdesk'
Then reinstall, to see what happens

I'm currently compiling the latest version using your generator and will need to wait a while before proceeding with the test.

After testing, the results are consistent with yesterday's observations: the MSI installer fails to launch, and the EXE installer cannot function properly when using the default installation path.

when you build one on https://rdgen.crayoneater.org/

then you have no problem with the msi installer ...

[zhenzhen122]

The key issue is not with this MSI version, as builds generated on https://rdgen.crayoneater.org/ cannot enable the hidden connection window by default. However, the EXE installer compiled using your generator still exhibits the reported problem when installed to the default path.

Pushed a newer workflow now ....

I believe this issue isn't critically impactful and can be closed for now. Although I've compiled the latest version using the generator, the problem I reported still persists. I've made a donation of 100 RMB to support your work.
