Auto update creates subfolder copy

Issue #8236 open
Jason Kolodziejczak created an issue

Applied an auto update this afternoon (Nov 28th) and in the process of updating launchbox created another launchbox folder within the base installation. When it autolaunched afterwards, my copy was no longer registered. Once I looked into the folder for the license, I noticed the issue. Base install path is E:\Emulators\LaunchBox\, and it created a second copy E:\Emulators\LaunchBox\LaunchBox\ without art, platforms etc.

    How did you apply the update? Was it through the LB UI or did you click on the installer exe? Typically the \Launchbox\Launchbox occurs when a user is running the installer directly so I just want to confirm.
