rustdesk 5fc0367abd 1. GUID key (...Uninstall\{GUID}) is MSI-native metadata generated by Windows Installer.
2. Non-GUID key (...Uninstall\RustDesk) is explicitly written by RustDesk’s MSI compatibility component in res/msi/Package/Components/Regs.wxs:44, populated by preprocess.py --arp from .github/workflows/
     flutter-build.yml:262.

  So they were not using the same EstimatedSize logic:

  - MSI GUID key: MSI-calculated size (KB).
  - RustDesk key: custom script value from res/msi/preprocess.py:339 (previously bytes, now fixed to KB).

  That mismatch is exactly why you saw different sizes.
