If you have an existing Invoke installation, you can select it and let the launcher manage the install. You'll be able to update or launch the installation.
The Launcher will check for updates for itself and Invoke.
When the Launcher detects an update is available for itself, you'll get a small popup window. Click through this and the Launcher will update itself.
When the Launcher detects an update for Invoke, you'll see a small green alert in the Launcher. Click that and follow the instructions to update Invoke.
:::caution Installations from alternate launchers are not managed by Invoke, so we cannot guarantee it will work correctly. If you want a more stable experience, we recommend using the official Invoke Launcher. :::
