Seems like a NRE on the LoadImage causing catastrophic crash, I'll see what I can do but for now, please reinstall your current Collapse installation with the new exe in Releases

FYI, forcing the update in the settings works

Hi,
Surely yes download from Github Releases always fixes the issue.
But it could be better if there is a catch/fix for it and for good.

[bagusnl]

Thanks for filling up the issue, we are fully aware that many people were not able to update their instance of Collapse. This was due to some bad code when migrating from Squirrel to Velopack update mechanism.

For anyone who has something like this in the Console or when pressing "Check for Updates" regardless of version
"Cannot perform this operation in an application which is not installed."
please reinstall your instance using the new installer found in 1.82.3 release page https://github.com/CollapseLauncher/Collapse/releases/tag/CL-v1.82.3-pre

Our plan to remedy this issue is by having our legacy updater method (ApplyUpdate) to always take over in any case where Velopack fails (currently it only take over when the update process itself fails, but not when the checking fails). But as I was trying to do this last night, it seems that the code is quite convoluted which will make this take a bit more time than I was expecting.
