Why does double-clicking kaspawallet.exe not work?

Double-clicking kaspawallet.exe will not launch the Kaspa CLI wallet — it requires command line parameters to run. When you double-click the file, a console window flashes open for a split second and then closes before you can read anything; what it is actually showing you is an error message explaining that it cannot start without the required parameters. To use the CLI wallet, you need to open a command prompt or terminal, navigate to the folder containing kaspawallet.exe, and run it with the appropriate command line arguments. Knowing this saves beginners from thinking the software is broken when it is simply waiting for instructions it can only receive through the terminal.
