The OCT executable can't just be downloaded and swapped out with the existing one, due to how pyinstaller works... not to mention the exe on github is the installer... which can't run if the OCT process is open at all. |

I know, it downloads the installer, kills the OCT and then runs the installer. When you installed it though the installer it gives you the option to launch the OCT again (updated with the last installer). At least thats what it was supposed to do and did in local testing. |

This pull request adds an automated update and installation feature to the application, allowing users to download and install new versions directly from within the app. The update process now downloads the latest executable, prepares a Windows batch script to handle the replacement and restart, and informs users that the app will restart to apply the update.
