Description of the bug

Tried using the auto-update feature in my OB 0.2.5 installation after it alerts me of an update, but both running Updater.exe manually, or the dotnet ./Updater.dll both fail with Unhandled Exception error:

I really am dreading having to do a fresh install of the new version in a new folder from scratch as I'm going to lose the history that was in my previous installation.. So I am still stuck on 0.2.5 for now.

Is there any way to bypass this error and let it successfully self update?

Reproduction steps

Hello, please find the instructions here https://discourse.openbullet.dev/t/how-to-download-and-start-openbullet-2/29

You cannot update from 0.2.x to 0.3.x using the old updater, you need to redownload the new updater to an empty folder, download the new build through it, and then copy over the UserData folder to retain all of your settings and data.
