The install script needs admin rights.
And fpcupdeluxe is a pure normal user app.
This is why (IMHO) a combi is not the right thing to do.

On Windows, the tools needed to do all the magic are only downloaded (when missing) during the install-process. So only AFTER pressing a install button.
The GIT-tags will not be available on first launch when GIT is not installed on the system. The latest release should give a warning about that ...

FPC and Lazarus release candidates are also available using the current fpcupdeluxe. Under the "Tags".
See included screenshot.

You can add a tag yourself with the current fpcupdeluxe. Just have a look into fpcup.ini to see how this is done.

First of all, thanks for this modification of fpcupdeluxe !
I like the idea, but the implementation should be made (slightly) different.

Main point (of critic).
Your mod tries to download the tags during startup. That is not good. The GUI must be able to start without any internet access.
Advice ...

I will look into this. Its been a long time since I had a look at Lazarus running under QT5/6.
The target of these special fpcupdeluxe-qt# versions is indeed to build/have a Lazarus nunning under QT#.
Will keep you informed about progress, id any.

Additional/personal.
I use QT# a lot under Wayland ...

I will try to implement an updater for tags and branches. However, that is not an easy task.

FYI.
Bookworm default to Wayland as display manager. That might be the cause of the Lazarus-issues you encounter.
You might try to switch (back) to X as display-manager. This is what I normally do. QT5/6 might also be an option.

You need FPC fixes 3.2 on these system. Lazarus stable should work with fixes.

IMHO, it is very simple (in your user-case).

Lazarus provides ready to use installers for Windows.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Windows%2064%20bits/Lazarus%203.0/
Use them and you are ready to go.

If you want something special, like cross-compiling or trunk versions or ...

I am interested in getting this working.

This is a good question. The sources of fpcupdeluxe include a list of compatible versions. Still need a way to implement this.
List:
Lazarus 0.9.24 + FPC 2.2.4
Lazarus 0.9.26 + FPC 2.2.4
Lazarus 0.9.28 + FPC 2.4.0
Lazarus 0.9.30 + FPC 2.4.4
Lazarus 1.0.0 + FPC 2.4.4
Lazarus 1.0.0 + FPC 2.6.0 ...

Additional.
I am working on a feature that will store the installed packages info. This info-file can subsequently be used for any other install by fpcupdeluxe to auto-install all needed packages. The result should be single-click install of FPC, Lazarus and all additional packages.

You can.

Goto the TAG-tab.
Select the desired RC.
Add the tag.
Goto the basic-tab.
Select the desired RC.

I hope it will work.

Please be informed that fpcupdeluxe has install-scripts for many systems.
