Rebased the branch to main

So cool to have this!

Do you think it would be possible to add a default path for the launcher library, for example, the User Documents folder on Windows?
By default, it creates the library in the .exe location, and I don't think this is ideal. I saw some people leaving the default path and having the entire library folders on the desktop or in the downloads folder😅.

Also, do you think it would be possible to move the .exe file where the library is and have the option to create a shortcut on the desktop? I don't know if the Blender Launcher can be registered by Windows as an installed program to be available in the Windows search. This could be nice in case someone doesn't want to create a shortcut but still wants quick access to the program in the Windows apps menu.

Unrelated, but do you think it would be a good idea to force trigger the initial setup step for all older versions when they update, so users can update their settings as needed? (Only for the next update, not all the time.)
I'm thinking about this because a lot of people still have the old default settings, especially with the tray icon, and this creates a lot of confusion for multiple users.

Yes, this is possible

Yup, luckily we can copy and delete sys.executable on frozen builds

Well, the way applications typically add themselves to the Windows Start Menu is by placing shortcuts in a specific user folder. I think that's the default location for shortcuts, correct me if I'm wrong. We could go the typical Add to Start Menu and Add to Desktop checkboxes route

Yes, this is the default. It only shows up if the first_time_seen flag has not been enabled, which should never be enabled on older versions

Sorry that development has been frozen here, it's been a busy couple weeks irl for me 😅

I have a silent crash when clicking on next on the Set repo visibility step

Sorry for taking so much time reviewing that. I finally have some time during my winter vacation!

I have this error when it's trying to move the .exe to the lib location
