Hotfix release for the packaged Windows updater.

What changed

Fixed installer update handoff

Aura now handles installer-based updates more safely and visibly.

  • Downloads the installer to a stable local path:
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Aura\updates\<version>\AuraSetup-<version>.exe
  • Opens the installer wizard visibly instead of trying to launch it silently.
  • Uses Windows ShellExecuteW/open for the installer handoff.
  • Aura only exits after the installer launch is confirmed.
  • If the installer cannot be opened, Aura stays running and shows the downloaded installer path.
  • Update dialog copy now explains what will happen before Aura closes.

Better recovery if Windows blocks the installer

If the installer does not appear, Aura now tells you exactly where the downloaded installer is so you can run it manually.

Example:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Aura\updates\1.4.7\AuraSetup-1.4.7.exe
