What Happened?

HiddifyService cannot run because it isn't included in the installer package. if you try to manually start the service you will get the following error: Windows could not start Hiddify Tunnel Service service on local computer. Error 2: system cannot find the file specified.

Minimal Reproducible Example (MRE)

Install the app using the .exe installer. Run Hiddify. Service mode does not work because HiddifyService.exe does not exist and therefore windows cannot start it.

Expected Behavior

HiddifyService.exe is included in the installation package and functions normally.

Version

I suspect that Windows Firewall might be removing this file.

I did some research and apparently the service executable file for hiddify service changed form HiddifyService.exe to HiddifyCli.exe, but the installer(or the app itself?) did not update the registry key for this service so windows is still looking for HiddifyService.exe and the service cannot start.
