Fix: the app now restarts cleanly after updating itself.

In 1.2.0 and 1.2.1, after installing an update the new version could fail to start with a "Failed to load Python DLL" error. The update itself was applied; only the automatic restart failed. Starting the program again always worked. 1.2.2 fixes the restart. If you update to 1.2.2 from 1.2.0 or 1.2.1 you may see that error one last time, because the old version performs that update. Just open CHD Manager again. Updates from 1.2.2 onward restart normally.

Nothing else changed since 1.2.1 (the fixes from testing on 42 real discs, and the emulator boot tests, are all still in; see the README's Testing section).

Download CHD-Manager-1.2.2-win64.zip, unzip it anywhere, and run CHD Manager.exe. Windows 10/11, 64-bit. Python is not needed. Includes chdman 0.289.

Heads up: the exe is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show "unknown publisher" (choose More info, Run anyway), and some antivirus programs can be suspicious of packaged Python programs. You can also run CHD_Manager.pyw from source or build the exe yourself with build.ps1 (see the README).
