Same here on a "fresh" install. Selecting version 1.0.3 after the bad install will complete ok.
It looks like Tianpei made a misteak [sic]. I Googled "beforeinstall", and the explanation on this page:
https://github.com/openwch/arduino_core_ch32
implies that the beforeinstall script is only needed on Linux. I tracked down the script on my PC in this directory:
...\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\WCH\tools\beforeinstall\1.0.0\
I edited the file "Start.sh" and I commented out all of the code in the file (prefixing each line with "#"). This next step may not be necessary, but I deleted the "ch32v" directory found here:
...\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\WCH\hardware\
Finally, I reinstalled CH32 (version 1.0.4) using the Arduino board manager and it installed without a problem. It seems to be working. At least I was able to compile a sketch and load it to a CH32 board.
`
The install seems OK with "Run as Administrator". On my windows machine the Administrator is another user so the package is installed somewhere else. Then I need to copy the package in C:\Users\{Your USER}\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages
to the right location manually.
Right, so it needs to skip trying to symlink linux .so files from wch_beforeinstall_linux-1.0.0.tar.gz
when run on Windows...
@TianpeiLee is https://github.com/openwch/board_manager_files/blob/main/package_ch32v_index.json#L227-L230 really needed for Windows?
@Ivoz This is not provided for Windows, but at the time I remembered that if I did not add this link in the Windows resources, the arduino ide seemed not to recognize the json file normally. Maybe the method I tested at the time was wrong. I will confirm this again.(#89 Same problem)
Why it was closed? The problem is still actual! Fresh install:

If the IDE requires the library structure to be consistent in each environment, then there is nothing I can do. Maybe I can only install it in administrator mode.

Then why the link for the 3 dependencies of beforeinstall should be the same link? Here is how I change the link to an empty archive and it installs fine with a local server running on port 9000.

I know, but this essentially makes it download a file, and I was expecting it not to download unnecessary files.
Yes I tried to remove it completely for Windows and Mac, but Arduino throw an error. So I used an empty file. I think an empty file is better than an incorrect file. Or this issue should be submitted to Arduino support.
It seems that my previous memory was correct. Yes, an empty file is better than an incorrect file. When the tool chain is updated, I will change it to an empty file.
Confirming it happens on Windows 11. Fresh install of Arduino IDE. I'm trying to bring newbies into the CH32v003 platform and this is a show stopper. // Installing WCH:openocd@1.0.0 Configuring tool.

When installing, or updating to, version 1.0.4, the installation fails when using Windows (11), with the following console output:
Apparently the installer attempts to install linux binaries in windows...
