reinstall electron app after component update available - electron builder/ electron updater

I'm trying to reinstall the app after i check if there are components that need to be updated.

The auto update works perfectly, but there are some other components that i have no control over, i can see if they need update, i can technically re implement everything from scratch but since everything is already implemented in the installer to download and install all the other components silently i would rather reinstall the app, the app is small so i don't think this will be a huge issue.

so i what i want to achieve is something like this

autoUpdater.on('update-not-available', () => {
  showNotification('Checking for Components updates...', '');
  if(checkForComponentsUpdates()){ 
  //this is my go at it,
     autoUpdater.downloadUpdate();
     autoUpdater.quitAndInstall(false, true);
     autoUpdater.emit('update-available');
  }
});
