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.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Cursor installer for Windows 11
  2. Open the installer

Expected Behavior

The installer is progressed.

Download older versions here. Perform a clean uninstall.

Downloaded 0.50.0 and 0.49.0 from the link and the cursor installer persist the same issue.

Works by downloading version 0.43.0 from this link:

And update Cursor to the newest version from inside the app after installing the 0.43.0 version.
