Describe the bug I'm running the no-installer variant of draw.io (specifically draw.io-27.0.5-windows-no-installer.exe)

On opening it recently, it prompted me that it was out of date. I told it to update, and it then proceeded to fetch draw.io-27.0.9-windows-installer.exe, and tried to execute that.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open out-of-date no installer binary
  2. Updater tries to install installer-based version

Expected behavior I would hope the no-installer version would fetch the new no-installer exe file. Since there's no install process, I could also see it saying "go download the new version from github " as a completely acceptable option here.

Mostly, I just would expect it to not try to execute an installer.

draw.io version (In the Help->About menu of the draw.io editor): 27.0.5

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows
  • Browser N/A (standalone)
  • Browser Version N/A (standalone)

I tested the problem in incognito/private mode with all browser extensions switched off, write "yes" below: N/A (standalone version of application)
