Auto-Update doesn't install in Custom Installation Folder

Open JVormstein opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug This is kinda a luxury problem, but it still breaks my vscode installation. When clicking on the update button within vscode it seems to start updating the application. My VSCode is installed on another drive. So the updater downloads and installs VSCode in the Default-Windows Location, but it somehow doesn't manage to install it completely. This results in the Shortcut link (the little thing you click on in the start menu) to VSCode not beeing linked to anything, since the updater only installs some folder and the uninstaller in the Default Location, but not VSCode, not in the Default Location or in the Custom Location.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

  • [ x] This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
