getWindowsExeVersion resolved a browser's full path by reading the registry through the 'regedit' package, which reaches the registry via a WMI provider. When a machine's WMI provider is unhealthy, that call hangs indefinitely and blocks driver installation. Read the value through PowerShell's registry provider instead, which does not depend on WMI, and drop the regedit dependency. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code (Claude Opus 4.8) <noreply@anthropic.com>
