What happened?

Hello, I've tried installing with both Docker and Podman. With both methods, an RDP connection opens when I run the installation script, but then the script aborts with the following message (in both cases, whether Docker or Podman, I have to set WAFLAVOR="manual", otherwise nothing works):

ERROR: REMOTE DESKTOP PROTOCOL FAILURE.
FreeRDP failed to establish a connection with Windows.

Please view the log at /home/user/.local/share/winapps/FreeRDP_Test_20260303_0949_447120971.log.
Troubleshooting Tips:

• Ensure the user is logged out of Windows prior to initiating the WinApps installation.
• Ensure the credentials within the WinApps configuration file are correct.
• Utilise a new certificate by removing relevant certificate(s) in /home/user/.config/freerdp/server.
• Try increasing the RDP_TIMEOUT in /home/user/.config/winapps/winapps.conf.
• If using 'libvirt', ensure the Windows VM is correctly named as specified within the README.
• If using 'libvirt', ensure 'Remote Desktop' is enabled within the Windows VM.
• If using 'libvirt', ensure you have merged 'RDPApps.reg' into the Windows VM's registry.
• If using 'libvirt', try logging into and back out of the Windows VM within 'virt-manager' prior to initiating the WinApps installation.

Exiting with status '14'.

If I run RDP only, the connection is established, regardless of whether it's xfreerdp directly or as a flatpak.
