MSI Installer failing silently #178

You basically get your usual UAC prompt, confirm, then get a short look at the extraction dialog and everything disappears.

The uninstaller entry in add/remove programs is properly created, but I couldn't find any of the other files (where should they go? ProgramData? local AppData?) and there doesn't seem to be any start menu shortcuts either.

The executable package/installer is working fine.

(Windows 10 Pro Fall Creators Update x64)

@MarioLiebisch Start typing "Universal" or "Deck Tracker" in your Windows search bar. It has installed and it has created an icon.

Nope, that's what I tried first and they weren't there. Where are the files supposed to go when using the global installer?

C:\Users\{profile}\AppData\Local\UniversalDeckTracker

Definitely wasn't there. That folder only had updater.exe and .dead (or similar name) from a previous installation.
