What's Changed

Stabilizes the Windows installer after the currentUserboth install mode transition, fixing upgrade failures, duplicate entries, and registry path mismatches.

🛠 Improvements

  • Publisher metadata — Added bundle.publisher ("AnInsomniacy") and bundle.copyright for proper attribution in Windows "Apps & Features" and macOS Info.plist
  • Installer mode upgraded to both — Supports both per-user and per-machine installs with user choice during setup
  • NSIS hooks hardened — Added DetailPrint logging for install-time observability, dynamic $PROGRAMFILES64 path detection, and named-label branching for maintainability
  • AGENTS.md updated — Documented Windows installer hooks architecture and added CAUTION rule preventing future bundle.publisher/productName changes

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed "NSIS Error: Error launching installer" during upgrade (#159) — Changing bundle.publisher shifted the internal MANUPRODUCTKEY registry path; added a MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT bridge to copy legacy data before installer pages load
  • Fixed duplicate "Apps & Features" entries — Migration hook now deletes the stale HKCU uninstall registry entry from the old currentUser install mode
  • Fixed file split between AppData and Program Files — Re-syncs $OUTDIR after $INSTDIR override to ensure all files extract to the correct location
  • Cleaned up orphaned registry keys — Removes old Software\motrix\MotrixNext entries and Program Files residuals from prior installs
