These installers used to work for me, but started failing with the v4.11.0 installer. (Windows 11.)

Running the MSI installer from my downloads directory with the command msiexec /i webcord-squirrel-x64.msi /l*v InstallLog.log produced the attached log file, in case that helps at all:
InstallLog.log

Things of note:

I do have a drive where I install video games mounted as drive E, but that isn't where webcord is installed, and shouldn't be used by the installer at all. Despite that, there are lines like:

MSI (c) (1C:80) [17:41:41:402]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ROOTDRIVE property. Its value is 'E:'.
[...]
MSI (c) (1C:80) [17:41:41:405]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding TARGETDIR property. Its value is 'E:'.

I also have my user folders moved to a drive mounted at D, but the installer should still be using the AppData, ProgramData, and Program Files folders, which are all still on the default C drive.

I think everything else about my Windows 11 installation is pretty normal, other than that I dual boot so it launches the Windows bootloader from Grub.

I am also experiencing this issue after trying to install the latest update to fix the bricked mic issue...
