Oracle Client 11.2 is 32-bit. On 64-bit Windows the registry key lives
under WOW6432Node but the preinstall detection was reading the native
64-bit path, which doesn't exist. Detection always failed, causing a
redundant reinstall on every re-image. The GE-Enforce manifest had the
correct path since 2026-05-01 but preinstall.json was missed.
