Research direction

The report identifies VeraCrypt Setup 1.26.29 on 64-bit Windows 11 and a crash after selecting a standard encrypted volume and clicking “Next”; it does not name a file or test. Start by reproducing that step and comparing with version 1.25.9, then locate the failing setup path. Done means the crash is understood and the volume-creation flow works without it.
