Differentiate Uninstall from Update (NSIS)

NSIS

Ive created a custom NSIS script to prompt the user as to whether or not to remove the User Data.
I used the 'customUnInstall' macro.

However when updating the application, customUninstall macro is called. Which results in the user being asked if it wants to wipe user data when updating.

Instead a customUpdate macro should be called.

This can be resolved by wrapping any such code in:

${IfNot} ${Silent}
${endIf}

I realise my initial request is unreasonable, as you would need to define when customUpdate would be called. (It would likely be called at the end of an install, not during during the installation phase).

You can detect is it auto update —

electron-builder/packages/electron-builder/templates/nsis/oneClick.nsh

Line 25 in 43add64

${GetOptions} $R0 "--update" $R1

PR welcome ;)
