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.
