Install date is always today

[RandomEngy]

Using Squirrel 2.9.42, a user noticed that the "installed" date in Add/Remove Programs is always today, and not when the original install happened: https://github.com/RandomEngy/VidCoder/issues/1200

I checked the patch notes since that version and didn't see a fix listed. But I've also updated to 2.11.1 so I can see if it's still there on the next release.

This date is updated when you call CreateUninstallerRegistryEntry, and also automatically when the app is installed or updated. I had a quick look at VidCoder, and it doesn't look like you're calling this on app start in any place obvious, so the app was likely updated today.

I can still reproduce this on Windows 11. The date is updated on launching the app. I only call CreateUninstallerRegistryEntry in the OnInitialInstall callback. I also have logging around it, but that logging is not hit.

The shortcut I'm using is: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VidCoder.Beta\VidCoder.exe

Start in: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VidCoder.Beta\app-8.12.0

Though that folder no longer exists, it's on 9.14 now.

In that case, my guess is that this (https://github.com/clowd/Clowd.Squirrel/blob/master/src/Squirrel/IUpdateManager.cs#L233) is getting hit when you check for updates, even though there are no updates available. As a work-around, you could do the update steps (check, download, apply) individually yourself, and not call this function if there are no updates available. As this library is being deprecated in favor of Velopack, and this is not a critical bug, I can't promise a fix.

Closing as wontfix since there is a workaround and this is not a critical bug
