NSIS with oneClick set to true does not relaunch the app after update

See original GitHub issue

Version: 7.21.0

Target: Windows NSIS

Description of the problem: Windows NSIS with oneClick set to true does not relaunch the app after update (using quitAndInstall). On the other hand, using the same build for OSX (Squirrel.Mac) it relaunches the app after updating (using the same code of quitAndInstall). This confuses the customer as there is no installergif or validation that the update is done.

Configuration looks like:

"build": {
    "appId": X
    "asar": false,
    "category": X
    "win": {
      "target": "nsis"
     },
     "nsis": {
      "guid": X,
      "oneClick": true
    }

I wasn’t going to be picky, but the install update showing progress would be great! An installer gif or a progress bar (similar to a normal install) would be awesome.

Fixed in electron-auto-updater 0.6.0.

Please note — currently, app will be relaunched only if you don’t set runAfterFinish to false (defaults to true, if you didn’t customise it, don’t worry).
