Fix for Office 365 in 2025 (click-to-run)

[cliv3dev]

@rendezz
On my computer, running fixclick2run.bat doesn't do anything because the registry path has changed.
It's now like that:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\REGISTRY\MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID{4E3A7680-B77A-11D0-9DA5-00C04FD65685}

So I added another case to check for this path first in the bat files, and now the tool works on my computer with Office365 and Windows 11.
File fix of the fix is in attach :)

Hey, it worked for me. Here is the .bat file code:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

REM --- Automatic Elevation ---
:: Check for admin rights
net session >nul 2>&1
if %errorLevel% neq 0 (
echo [ERROR] This script must be run as Administrator.
echo [INFO] Attempting to relaunch as administrator...
powershell -Command "Start-Process 'cmd.exe' -ArgumentList '/k ""%~f0""' -Verb RunAs"
exit /b
)

echo.
