Update single user installation without admin rights (and ideally keeping settings) #348

Hi Braden and Community,

Thank you Braden for your continued work on this groundbreaking application that me at work (and the whole family at home) are using all day long every day.

Here is a small feature request: Would it be possible to change the update process so that Whispering simply updates the existing installation with the new program files, while keeping the settings?

Additionally, it would be great if this process didn't require admin rights when the application is installed in single-user mode (i.e., in the user folder at C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local).

Thank you very much for considering this suggestion!

Best regards, David
