An updater used to automatically handle installing and updating the various FAES-based tools.
Directly using the FAES-Updater executable is not needed, or recommended.
The tool will be downloaded, executed and deleted automatically by the FAES-based tools to ensure they are automatically updated.
FAES-Updater can be used by advanced users manually to download FAES tools automatically or to force update tools. This requires use of the various launch arguments available in FAES-Updater.
