Improve installing, updating, repair, and other changes
Describe the request Improve the "Update Available" message to note what type of install is out of date. To not break Portable mode, Active and Service mode can both be installed on a single machine, If I user was update one but not the other, this may be confusing.
Additionally, have the installer detect
- The existing install and elevate accordingly
- If both versions are installed, and provide a message
TODO: Investigate #66 / #69 uninstall issues. #66 was service mode, unsure about #69.
It also would be nice if it appeared in the notifications panel, and not a popup window.
Looking into this. May be a bit for this specific change but I see no issue with this.
Finally, it would be good if it would just download it. And for there to be an option to say "always download and install update," keeping the same settings.
Hesitant to implement any sort of automatic updating in case of a supply chain attack. I have my github account locked down pretty well but you never know.
