Describe the Bug
Cursor’s installer seems to stuck on “preparing to install” on Windows 11 x64. The installer version is for Cursor 1.0.0. I’ve wait for like 15-20 minutes and its still not progressing. Even the cancel button can’t be clicked.
Tried older version from the websites but got told access denied.
