Could newer Windows 11 builds require a a signed executable, or newer manifest 
GUID, version, urn asmv than Win 10:

windows-default-manifest:	usr/lib/default-manifest.o

In failing installs, could you check the GUIDs in ntdll.dll under the symbol 
SbSupportedOsList, referenced by a function called SbGetContextDetailsByVersion
