The install script failed to detect Hermes(Desktop) and OpenCode(Desktop) on Windows #1180

Description

@smzh369

Version

codebase-memory-mcp --0.9.0

Platform

Windows (x64)

Install channel

GitHub release archive / install.sh / install.ps1

Binary variant

standard

What happened, and what did you expect?

The installation script not only failed to detect OpenCode Desktop and Hermes Desktop, but also mistakenly assumed that I had installed Claude Code. In fact I only have a .claude folder and didn't install the cli.
By the way the codebase-memory-mcp.exe was installed into two places: C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Programs\codebase-memory-mcp\ and C:/Users/myuser/.local/bin/. Both location are added to path.

Reproduction

1.Follow the Quick Start step by step on Windows PowerShell
