Did the installer detect that the version being installed is an old version? #171

If my customer has a version 1.5 installed and for some reason reexecute the 1.4 version installer. How can i detect it to block that operation?

Currently the setup .exe always just overwrites everything without any way to intercept programatically, see this releated issue: https://github.com/clowd/Clowd.Squirrel/issues/70

A workaround could be checking for most recent version on app start then triggering immediate update if old. This would be inconvenient for person accidentally running old installer but experience is the best teacher.

It's not possible, as people have mentioned, the installer currently always overwrites the installed app. I do not know when this will be implemented but there are some ideas discussed here https://github.com/clowd/Clowd.Squirrel/issues/70
