What changed

  • install stable Windows builds under Program Files
  • preserve the stable AppId for in-place upgrades
  • discover and migrate exact legacy per-user installations across loaded user profiles
  • close legacy executables before migration and remove stale uninstall records
  • register file associations machine-wide

User impact

Automatic updates show the normal Windows UAC confirmation, then install silently, replace the existing copy and restart the app. Settings, projects, cache and astronomy files remain untouched.

Validation

  • full QA gate passed
  • WPF publish passed
  • Inno Setup 7 compiled without warnings

Migrate exact legacy per-user installs across loaded profiles while preserving settings and projects.
