It's probably not a bug, but still a weird thing: XnViewMP-win-x64-beta2-Qt6.zip contains libraries dav1d.dll and libdav1d.dll, which are in fact bit-to-bit identical. In other words, it's the same file with two different names. Why ?
Also maybe it would makes sense not to put redistributable dll package into installers and put them separately only for users who needs it ? In many cases those DLLs are already in the system (msvc* libs, vc* libs, api-ms-win* libs etc.).

and vc_redist.x64.exe also should not be in the package
