Hi @qwerttvv , Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We are looking into this issue and will update you on this issue after investigating.

We want to make the base image as lean as possible to provide optimal performance for all users and The requested tool would considerably increase the image size and overall performance.

however, Windows 2025 isn't out yet as GA , We keep track and may make decisions depending on the amount of requests for the same tool in the future.

@qwerttvv the /SP- does not seem to be needed but the rest of it saved my day as calling Inno Setup installers from a Bash shell in Windows CI would just freeze the CI forever and not say a word about what's wrong… thanks!
