Windows x64 setup installer bundles ARM64 cli-proxy-api.exe

[zwq871482439]

Bug Description

The Windows x64 installer build of ZeroLimit (v1.1.3) ships the CLIProxyAPI executable compiled for ARM64, which fails to run on standard x64 Windows machines with the following error:

计算机类型不匹配
映像文件 C:\Users<user>.zerolimit\cli_proxy\cli-proxy-api.exe 无效，但它对另一种计算机类型有效。

(English: "Computer type mismatch. The image file ... is invalid, but valid for another computer type.")

Root Cause

The CLIProxyAPI executable extracted to the user's profile directory at:

C:\Users\<user>\.zerolimit\cli_proxy\cli-proxy-api.exe

is a PE32+ ARM64 executable instead of the expected x64 (AMD64) executable.

Verified with:

file cli-proxy-api.exe
# PE32+ executable for MS Windows 6.01 (console), ARM64, 6 sections

Environment

• OS: Windows 10 x64 (build 26200)
• ZeroLimit version: 1.1.3
• Downloaded artifact: ZeroLimit_1.1.3_Windows_x64-setup.exe
• CPU architecture: x64/AMD64
• Install path: C:\Program Files\ZeroLimit\

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download ZeroLimit_1.1.3_Windows_x64-setup.exe on an x64 Windows machine.
2. Run the installer and complete installation.
3. Launch ZeroLimit.
4. On the initial setup/login screen, set the CLI Proxy Server path to C:\Users\<user>\.zerolimit\cli_proxy\cli-proxy-api.exe.
5. Click Start.
6. The "Computer type mismatch" error dialog appears.

Expected Behavior

The x64 Windows installer should bundle the x64 (windows_amd64) build of CLIProxyAPI, not the ARM64 (windows_aarch64) build, so that it runs out of the box on x64 Windows.

Workaround

Manually download the x64 CLIProxyAPI release from the upstream repo and replace the bundled ARM64 executable:

1. Download CLIProxyAPI_7.2.81_windows_amd64.zip from https://github.com/router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI/releases
2. Extract cli-proxy-api.exe.
3. Replace C:\Users\<user>\.zerolimit\cli_proxy\cli-proxy-api.exe with the extracted x64 version.
4. Restart ZeroLimit and click Start.

Suggested Fix

Update the ZeroLimit build/packaging pipeline to download the correct CLIProxyAPI architecture based on the target Windows build (x64 vs ARM64). For the x64 installer, use CLIProxyAPI_*_windows_amd64.zip; for the ARM64 installer, use CLIProxyAPI_*_windows_aarch64.zip.

Thanks for the project! Once the executable is replaced with the x64 version, the app works correctly.
