On Windows, file associations aren't registered correctly when updating to Velopack in game

Bug description

When updating from 2024.817.0 to the newest release in game, the file associations seem to still be linked to the previous osu!.exe location.

Originally thought this was only me but someone else on the Discord server had the same issue

Files are registered correctly after running the latest install.exe manually and pressing repair on the popup.

If you still have the broken installation can you do the following in registry editor: Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER, navigate to Software\Classes, then look for osu.File.osz, then send the value of Shell\Open\Command? This should allow me to confirm what it's set to.

Example:

I might have a rough idea as to why this could be happening. I set it so that the associations are only created upon first run, this was under the assumption that we don't need to update associations anymore (since they're just symlinked to current). Seems like I forgot about the situation where people are migrating from squirrel -> velopack.

I'll probably end up having to refactor associations to work well post-velopack (I expect them to be buggy at the moment) anyways, so I'll keep this in mind for then.

For anyone that gets this issue, the fix is as said in the OP, just run the installer again.

After updating the value in regedit is still "C:\Users\SupDos\AppData\Local\osulazer\app-2024.817.0\osu!.exe" "%1"

Thanks! I'll try to tackle this (associations refactor) during the weekend.
