Describe the bug
Upgrade notification re-notifies after updating to the latest. Started happening with (I believe) 4.1.6 and has continued with 4.2.5. I have to 'ignore this version' to keep it from re-appearing, even though I'm running the version it is notifying me about.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Update to latest.
2. Re-receive update popup.

Expected behavior
I expected to not receive a notification that I was out of date running the latest code.

Well, this is a puzzler.

Windows 10 build 19042, so same as me. It works here, and your EDMC is clearly showing the correct current version, plus it's obviously downloading the correct 'appcast' file to find the update.

There shouldn't be any way to have '4.1.6' get passed to the WinSparkle library we use for the automatic update checks whilst having '4.2.5' in the About popup. If anything I'd expect total garbage rather than '4.1.6'.

Are you sure you don't still have 4.1.6 installed and running as well as 4.2.5 ?

I can only suggest that you:

1. Quit EDMarketConnector.exe
2. Open Windows Settings (WinKey + I)
3. Go to 'Apps' and wait for it to load the list.
4. Type 'Market' in the search box. Check what version that says and tell us.
5. Then Uninstall whatever version that is.
6. Double-check there's still no other listing for the program.
7. Re-install using the .msi file from https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/releases/tag/Release%2F4.2.5

Did all those. Only had one, 2.4.5.

Poking around further, I do note that I have an errant python process running. This does run a python exec under the cover, right? I don't run from source, so I don't know how a python.exe version of this app would have started up. I don't know enough about the failure modes of py2exe to comment there. I'll see if this recurs after the next update. But this smells to me like the source of the issue.

Just recurred.

? Any ideas what this is?

it's the process that ran the popup. It wasn't running before that I can find.

An RBF file is apparently a "Roll Back File".

So, either something weird going on with installing things on your system, or you have some backup software that's responsible ?

Got Acronis, but it writes to a hdd image on a weekly schedule. It doesn't muck with uninstall/install files or creates RBF's when installing new versions. Weird. My gaming desktop appears to have picked up a slight flutter.

Eh, I'm willing to check this up to something strange going on unrelated to the code you guys produce.
