Synopsis: LICENSE file missing in win64 installation

Description

The LICENSE file is missing in the win64 installation of EiffelStudio 23.09

I used the MSI installer: https://www.eiffel.com/cdn/EiffelStudio/23.09/107341/Eiffel_23.09_rev_107341-win64.msi

This report is a duplicate of #19703: https://support.eiffel.com/report_detail/19703

To Reproduce

Goto menu "Help" -> "About EiffelStudio..." and click on "Read License Text".

In the dialog with title "License for EiffelStudio" instead of the license this is displayed:

---
Missing LICENSE file!
location: C:\Program Files\Eiffel Software\EiffelStudio 23.09 Standard\LICENSE
---

The file LICENSE does not exist at that location.

On Ubuntu Linux this is not an issue. There the license file exists and it is displayed in the dialog...

Dear Thomas,

Indeed we forgot to close this issue, and again thank you for the report, it was helpful to know about that issue.

I installed EiffelStudio 25.02 and checked this issue. On my installation the file

C:\Program Files\Eiffel Software\EiffelStudio 25.02 Standard\LICENSE

is available and in EiffelStudio the license text is also displayed.

So for me this report can now be closed if you confirm this change in version 25.02.

Thanks,
Thomas
