There isn't much else to say here. Hopefully the logs help

This might sound odd, but do you have a "God Mode" shortcut on your desktop or another location? These special folder names are actually called "Junction Points", and cause a crash in Java 8 or 9.

See the JDK bug about this here: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8179014

The installer is being launched using Java 8, however I do also see that you have Java 17 and 11 installed, and Java 17 is set as you JAVA_HOME version, whats intresting is our installer bootstrap should be using JAVA_HOME before trying to use java from the path 🤔

Surprisingly yeh, I do have God Mode. That is really odd that Java 8 does that. (Don't have 9).

Edit: Actually does make sense because java does not use the normal file picker interface so then would have to index the directories itself.

Going to close this as there isnt anything we can do to fix it. Running the installer with a newer Java is a sutible fix.
