When Brave is re-installed with the same binary, the `Relaunch` button is shown in brave://settings/help although there is no update available
See original GitHub issueDescription
As part of the testing of Omaha update to 1.3.36.111, tested install and re-install with same version. During first install, brave://settings/help
page shows correct version (without update trigger). However, after re-install of the same binary, brave://settings/help
page shows update trigger with Relaunch
button. Fidler logs shows same omaha updater version 1.3.36.111 in both install and re-install. Same issue with current public release 1.40.105 Chromium: 103.0.5060.53 which has older Omaha version, 1.3.361.113.
Steps to Reproduce
- Download
BraveBrowserStandaloneBetaSetup.exe
and install standalone binary (Beta v1.41.74 (Chromium 103.0.5060.53)) - Go to
brave://settings/help
- Page renders
Brave is up to date
message (No update trigger) Re-install
same binary- Go to
brave://settings/help
Actual result:
Nearly up to date! message shows with Relaunch
button on the second install
Expected result:
Relaunch button should not be available if no updates available
