Great catch regarding the OneDrive path! I didn't account for users having their folders redirected.
Huge thanks to DiapDealer for pointing out the QStandardPaths solution. I've updated the plugin to version 1.1.0 using that implementation to dynamically find the correct location, ensuring compatibility regardless of OneDrive settings or system language.
To be even safer, the plugin now downloads the installer to the standard Downloads folder (instead of the Desktop) to avoid any sync conflicts during the process.

Thanks for the feedback and for helping improve the plugin!
