Why does double-clicking kaspawallet.exe close immediately?

The Kaspa CLI wallet requires command line parameters to run, so double-clicking kaspawallet.exe causes the window to flash open and immediately close. The program is not broken — it launches, displays a message explaining that it cannot start without command line parameters, and then exits. Because that window closes in a split second, you never get a chance to read the message. To actually use kaspawallet, you need to open a terminal (such as Command Prompt or PowerShell) and type the command with the required parameters rather than launching it by double-clicking. This matters because many beginners assume the file is corrupt or that something went wrong when they see the window vanish — it is working exactly as designed, just waiting for you to use it the correct way.
