I just wanted to note here too that the installation now works when using an elevated prompt. If you try to install it from an user prompt, the installation fails while trying to write to C:\Windows\TEMP due to the lack of permissions.

@hovancik @denelon Yes, the installer (without using winget) works, even when I use the /S flag. (I already mentioned that in this winget comment)

@denelon May there be an issue with the integrity level in combination with winget and specific installers?
