📜 What part of Winutil are you having issues with?

MicroWin

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

After following all of the steps properly on a clean installation of windows, I received the error listed in the title and nothing happened. Setup.exe said the installation didnt work and it reverted my PC to how it was before I ran it.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

All I have done was go on a totally clean installation of Windows 11 Pro, download rufus, follow the instructions to get the MicroWin ISO, inject that ISO into my usb via rufus, then run the setup application in the files of the USB.

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

I didnt receive any logs.

🖼️ Additional context.

This sounds like you're upgrading windows by running the installer from within Windows, not doing a fresh install (boot from USB). Unless you're running the installer from within windows but choosing not to keep any of your files and programs...
If you're running it from Windows, what options are you choosing during the installation?
