Just downloaded the Windows 11 ARM version of BOINC 8.2.4, and when I double click the installer, it opens up very shortly, and then crashes, nothing more happens. Hope somebody can help me out. Also, if I just click the green "download BOINC" button, by default, the Intel version comes up. This should be changed, so the BOINC website recognizes the Windows 11 ARM OS and chip/device, and downloads the ARM version by default, instead of the user having to go into "all versions" and then select the ARM version instead of the default Intel version. |

Normally it does this by default, but it depends on what your browser says what kind of operating system is being used. |
