You do not have to create an "update application". Just rebuild your installer with the new version of the application. – Martin Prikryl Mar 02 '21 at 11:53

To add to Martin's comments: In Inno Setup terminology, an "update" or "upgrade" means "install new version to same directory as previous version, updating files as necessary." – Bill_Stewart Mar 03 '21 at 18:43

It seems that you have posted a new and more meaningful question under a different account: [How to update python desktop application?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/66491911/850848) – Martin Prikryl Mar 05 '21 at 12:09

Just reuse the former insteller, set a new version number and let the application id unchanged. Inno Setup then automatically updates a installed version of your application or installs new if it not exists.

From the [other question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/66491911/850848) (probably by the same user), it does not look like it's what OP looks for. – Martin Prikryl Mar 11 '21 at 09:53
