Installer doesn't install

Installer doesn't install

I just downloaded the SpotifySetup executable (for Windows, Windows 11 Pro 64-bit version 24H2 build 26100.3037, to be precise).  It said it was for Spotify version 1.2.56.502.ga68d2d4f.  You can check that in the Windows file properties on the downloaded file.  The version number is on the Details tab of the Properties dialog.  I executed the installer.  It went through the process saying it was downloading whatever, then installing whatever, then Spotify opened.  To check that I had version 1.2.56.502.ga68d2d4f, I opened About Spotify.  I was astonished to see that I was still running version 1.2.55.235.g5eaa0904 & it said I should "click here" to download the new version.  What?  I just did that!  And the install appeared to run successfully.  But quite evidently it did nothing.  Only clicking the "click here" button within the About Spotify box actually updated Spotify.  That seems to be the only thing that works.  Well, that's just silly.  I ended up downloading the thing twice for no good reason.  The installer needs to actually INSTALL.  I went to the trouble of getting the new version myself.  That installer should install what I downloaded.  This is a rather silly state of affairs.
