Description

On first run, Brackets version 2.2.1 complains that "The version of brackets installed in this system is unsupported. Get the latest version of Brackets here or use phcode.dev!"

(The link in the error message goes to the download for the same version of Brackets that is installed.)

We are planning to install Brackets in our computer labs but are concerned that this error message will result in unnecessary calls to our service desk.

The problem does not appear to be limited to 2.2.1, every other version I have tested also raises this error message.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Brackets 2.2.1
2. Run Brackets for the first time (or delete the folder AppData\Roaming\Brackets and then run Brackets)

Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen]

No error message should appear.

Actual behavior: [What actually happened]

Error message "The version of brackets installed in this system is unsupported. Get the latest version of Brackets here or use phcode.dev!"
