Zettlr close-before-update and data-dir note

For managed Zettlr Windows updates, close Zettlr before starting the installer. The Windows EXE x64 and per-user x64 packages can return Exit Code 2 when Zettlr is still running, so treat Zettlr.exe as a conflicting process: notify or defer for the user, close the app, run the installer, and rerun detection after setup.

Zettlr also supports the runtime switch --data-dir="" to redirect configuration/data when you need a wrapper-launched portable or profile-specific deployment. Use the official Zettlr download page or the project releases page as the installer source: https://www.zettlr.com/download and https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/releases.
