Late yesterday evening the root of the problem came to me. We are trying to register a x86 browser extension with a arm Windows Explorer.
We disable the install step for the browser extension on arm.
- https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/7746 could solve this issue as well as as the server would then run in the client and not in the file browser.
