Fixes #127
Problem
Users who install via the Microsoft Store are prompted on every launch to update to a GitHub release that isn't published on the Store. The Store manages its own update lifecycle, so these prompts are incorrect and confusing.
Detection
Uses
GetCurrentPackageFullNamefromkernel32.dll— the standard Windows API for detecting packaged (Store) apps. ReturnsAPPMODEL_ERROR_NO_PACKAGE(15700) for non-packaged installs. This is the same approach used by major apps (e.g. VS Code, Spotify) to distinguish Store from direct installs.Changes
MainForm.csIsInstalledFromStore()helper; skip startupCheckForUpdatescall for Store installsAboutForm.csSettingsForm.csFor non-Store installs, behaviour is completely unchanged.
