#What is the difference between installer and update binaries

I mean, can I use the updater binary as installer?
actually the updater binary and installer aren't quite different as per my thinking
But the updater shouldn't be used as installer because it is a single-click installer msi

it's the exact same binary
the cli literally just takes the .msi, .appimage, .app and zips it
and the .msi itself doesn't know that its single-click until it's invoked with some cli flag
Therefore:

Yes. it's the same thing just wrapped in a zip/tar.gz

it's the exact same binary
Ahh, in v2 it seems like the other binary get removed
Hi @solemn venture, in v2 when building the nsis ther are 2 things created from tauri-actions app-name.exe and app-name.exe.sig the list seems to be missing the updater binary, should I use the same app-name.exe as the updater binary now?

If it's a new app then yes
