Bug: Auto-update installing itself in wrong location #318

Open randoomx8 opened 2 years ago

randoomx8 commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug The auto-update feature keeps installing newer version of itself in my appdata folder, even though I keep my executable in a separate folder in my desktop. This causes my PC to have multiple copies of the software.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install the software on folder in desktop
  2. Wait for the auto-updater to kick in
  3. The auto-updater installs itself in the wrong pace, makes a shortcut and fails to carry over settings

Expected behavior Auto-updater is aware of its location and installs itself where the user had originally placed the file

Additional info (please complete the following information):

Additional context All software has its rough edges (lord forbid someone ever goes through the code I make at work), for what it is worth, I think this software is fantastic.
