Global installer that get the latest release

See original GitHub issue

When I build a version, it generates a installer that get that specific version from this build, and only after install it will update to the latest.

I wondering if is possible to generate a nsis-web installer that get the latest version from Amazon S3, for example.

Adding my thoughts here. We need something this on more than nsis installers. For example, when the build process completes I want a versioned file AND a latest file… So, for example:

my-app-latest.dmg
my-app-latest.exe
my-app-1.2.9.dmg
my-app-1.2.9.zip
my-app-1.2.9.exe

This allows my users to always have the same download URL while still being able to revert to previous versions if necessary.

Yes, for every new release you have to upload corresponding 7z file as latest.7z (and, of course, https://www.electron.build/configuration/configuration#NsisWebOptions-appPackageUrl option should be set). So, when you will release new version, old installer will download this new package.
