Is there an install program for rEFInd that works on ArcaOS?

reFind is very nice - I used it before AN Launcher was written. IIRC it has an option to scan all disks for bootable partitions and may workaround the problem.
Here's another workaround that I think is far easier: just switch the boot order in the firmware so that the SATA drive boots first, then add AN Launcher to that disk's ESP.
* open MiniLVM and assign each of your two ESPs a drive letter (say, U: and V:)
* on the menu, select System->Boot Menu->Update/Install
* select the ESP partition on the SATA drive
* save your changes then boot into the firmware/BIOS
* change the boot order for hard drives so the SATA drive is first
* when you exit the firmware, it should boot AN Launcher on the SATA drive
If the Launcher menu doesn't have an entry for Win11, boot into AOS. Open Drive U: or V: (whichever is on the SATA), then open \EFI\BOOT\LAUNCHER.CFG. In the [menu] section, add "Win11 = \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi". Save, then reboot and see if the copy of Win on the SATA boots.

Not to my knowledge, but alle the install scripts do is mount the ESP volume and copy the necessary files to it.
On the rEFInd site is a page with instructions for manual installation.
Also, Rich has instructions how to do it in ArcaOS, posted above

Linux can install the deb too
Neil Waldhauer:
It sounds like you really need a Debian type of Linux to install rEFInd. Also the Windows or Mac preboot environment may be able to do that. It's not really clear how to reach those preboot environments, though. We would need some kind of utility for NVRAM I think to set the rest up.
The instructions are not very friendly, just use some utility program, but not describing where the utilities came from or what they do.
How about in the trivial case, where ANLauncher is already working. How do you rename all of the rEFInd parts to work with an ArcaOS installation?
