Steps to reproduce
The registry entry on windows for the Obsidian version does not get updated by the auto-updater. This causes issues with 3rd party package managers like WinGet
.
Expected result
When the auto-updater runs, it should update the version entry in the registry.
Actual result
Registry entry is not updated.

### Brief description of your issue
`winget list --id Obsidian.Obsidian` reports
```
Name Id Version Available Source
---------------------------------------------------
Obsidian Obsidian.Obsidian 1.5.3 1.5.8 winget
```
The [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) application itself reports that it is version 1.5.8 and is up to date. However, the application also reports that its installer version is 1.5.3.

It would appear that winget is using the 'wrong' version.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Download an older release from [obsidianmd/obsidian-releases](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases).
2. Launch Obsidian. Open Settings -> General. Note that the 'current version' and 'installer version' match.
3. Click the "Check the updates" button and update to the current release.
4. Run `winget upgrade`. Note that Obsidian is reported as having an upgrade.
### Actual behavior
It appears that [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) versions the application and the application installer and that winget is incorrectly using the application installer version and then incorrectly reporting an upgrade.
### Expected behavior
winget should track the application version, not the installer version.

Not a bug.
The installer version is separate from the app version, and it’s what brings some of the underlying dependencies, such as Electron.
To update the installer one needs to download Obsidian again and install it over the existing version.
