Trying to install the Resident Agent on a new Windows 11 laptop

I'm getting an error during install. Here is a snippet, but I've attached the full log file. Any help is appreciated!

Did you ever find a solution for this issue? Having the same problem

I did not. The need for it went away shortly after I posted. Sorry I don't have better news and good luck!

So I kinda figured it out. So download the installer onto the windows 11 computer. Run the installation as admin. Before you do so, make sure in settings that you have force https is checked. After that, go into C:\Programs\Remotely. Create a shortcut, copy and with Win +R and type "shell:common startup" and enter (without ""). Paste the shortcut in this folder and reboot. You should now be able to remote in even after reboot. Also, you will need to make sure that the computer never goes to sleep.

You could also just go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
