Installer states that some portion of the update failed (2.4.1 and 2.4.2)

Is it just me, or is there an issue with the installer that is causing it to throw an error at the end of installation?  This happened with both 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, but the software seems to work fine.

I also get an immediate notice after installing the update (when I run the program for the first time) that there is an update available, but it is the same version I have installed...

I have updated on two of my PCs (windows 10) - one is a company laptop with limited admin rights, and the other is a personal windows 10 laptop.  Both did the same thing with the error at the end of install, and the daily update notice for the same version I have installed.  Both are configured to install "just for me" (not for all users).

Thanks!

Adding a bit more detail...

Attaching a screen shot of the error message I get.  Also, when I click the option to install the update (after launching for the first time after the update), the installer offers options for "modify", "repair", and "uninstall".  If I pick "Repair", it goes through the motion again, and give the same error message at the end (along with the installer window saying the repair was successful).

Finally, the installer puts a shortcut on the windows desktop that functions correctly, but it is a "blank" icon instead of the PrusaSlicer logo.  If I try to change the properties and change the icon, it shows the right icon in the preview/picker for the icon, but it remains blank when I pick it and apply.
