Potential bug in MSI silent installation - Service not starting automatically

[tortadefrango97]

Hello,

I believe I’ve found a potential bug in the silent installation of the program when using the .msi installer. I first noticed this while installing it via winget, which uses the MSI version.

The issue is that after the installation completes, the installer does not start the "Everything" service automatically. Consequently, when I launch the application, it prompts me to install the service again or run the program as an administrator.

This behavior does not occur with the .exe installer, where the service is started automatically as expected.

How to reproduce:

1. Download the .msi installer.

2. Run a silent installation using the /qn flag.

3. The service is installed but does not start automatically.

4. When opening the program, it asks to install the service again, which eventually results in a duplicate service entry in Windows.

Additionally, I noticed that the service is not removed from the system when using the .msi uninstaller.

Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention.

Please try the Everything-1.4.1.1031 msi installer.

I’ve tested the latest version and can confirm that the issue is now resolved.
Thank you for the fix and for your great work on this project!
