[BUG] install with .exe cannot update itself without admin rights
Bug Description
I am using a work windows machine I don't have admin rights on. I can't install handy with the .msi file because it asks for admin rights. I can install it with the setup.exe file however. But when a new version gets released, if I click on the lower right update button, the way it tried to update itself ends up asking for an admin password. So I end up downloading the .exe myself and updating by hand. Not a huuuuge problem but intractable for newbies at work I'm trying to put onboard.
Suggested fixes:
- Check that the .exe installs .exe not .msi
- If user clicks for a second time on the update button, it probably means the install failed to open the releases page.
- Optionaly add a dropdown to that update button to offer the choice between automated or manual update.
