- Ensured logging behavior is consistent whether a log_file is specified or not.
- Changed installation scope from "perMachine" to "perUser" in the Windows installer configuration.
- Updated installation directory from "ProgramFiles64Folder" to "LocalAppDataFolder" for user-specific installations.
- Enhanced the configuration saving method to create parent directories if they don't exist.
- Improved the main window script loading logic to support multiple installation scenarios (development, PyInstaller, MSI).
- Added detailed logging for script loading failures and success messages.
- Implemented a new method to reconfigure logging settings at runtime, allowing dynamic updates from the settings dialog.
- Enhanced the settings dialog to handle configuration saving, including log level changes and error handling.
- Updated icon path handling to support both development mode and PyInstaller bundle.

- Update WiX configuration to use ProgramFiles64Folder for installation.
- Add a new component for creating a desktop shortcut for the WebDrop Bridge application.
- Updated the path to the built executable to reflect changes in the output structure.
- Added calculation and display of total distribution size after build.

This commit introduces a new test script, `test_msi.py`, which automates the process of creating an MSI installer. The script utilizes the `WindowsBuilder` class to generate the installer and checks for its successful creation, providing feedback on the result and the file size.
