Is there an existing issue for this?

Hi @avetis-avagyan thanks for reporting this!

I noticed on your SquirrelSetup.log that you have a handful of installation attempts with an error similar to:

2022-07-12 14:22:37> Program: About to install to: C:\Users\Avetis\AppData\Local\insomnia
2022-07-12 14:22:37> Program: Install path C:\Users\Avetis\AppData\Local\insomnia already exists, burning it to the ground
2022-07-12 14:22:37> IEnableLogger: : System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Access is denied
   at System.Diagnostics.Process.Kill()
   at Squirrel.UpdateManager.InstallHelperImpl.<>c__DisplayClass6_1.<KillAllProcessesBelongingToPackage>b__2()
   at Squirrel.Utility.LogIfThrows(IFullLogger This, LogLevel level, String message, Action block)

Do you have any limitations on your Windows account and are you able to install Insomnia if you try to run setup as an Admin user (or by going to properties of the file and checking the Run as administrationr option)?

Are you able to reproduce this on another windows computer with a different account setup?
