Stuck on bindiff.vm has been installed

[Bekobii]

What's the problem?

I've tried to install it multiple times but everytime I do get stuck on bindiff.vm has been installed and doesn't continue even after waiting for one hour.

I tried to install it on multiple machines under VirtualBox and VMWare and even on a physical machine.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Follow download instructions
2. Launch the installer

Environment

• Virtualization Software: VMWare and VirtualBox.
• Windows 11 10.0.26100
• Powershell 5
• Choco 2.4.1
• Boxstarter 3.0.3

Seems like Windows 11 isn't properly supported. I tried out different builds of Win11 without luck but after changing to Win10 no issues at all.

a physical machine

As documented in the README: FLARE-VM should ONLY be installed on a virtual machine.

Seems like Windows 11 isn't properly supported.

FLARE-VM does support Windows 11, but we are not able to test it as well as we test Windows 10. Out automatic testing uses GH runners which only provides windows-2019 and windows-2022, based on Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022 respectively. I think this versions are similar to Windows 10. In addition, the FLARE team relies ATM on Windows 10, which means I personally do most of my manual testing & installation in Windows 10. I am planing into do more Windows 11 testing in the next months, but I do not have the capacity ATM. So, I do appreciate the bug reports related to Windows 11.

I am not sure though that this issue is related to Windows 11 and how to fix it, as I do not see any error and you have not provided any logs. Please provide all the information required when opening an issue, including the installation logs. Can you also please Install FLARE-VM in Windows 11 without bindiff.vm to verify if the issue is caused by this package and it install correctly otherwise?
