Versioning Rtools ARP entries
Hi,
If I am not mistaken, all Rtools 4.2 (and 4.3) revisions have the same
ARP [1] entries, i.e. all report version 4.2.0.1 (or 4.3.0.1). This
makes it difficult to determine the installed version (is it possible
to determine the installed revision?) and impossible for tools like
winget [2] to update Rtools to the latest revision, AFAICT.
Would it be possible to track the version in the installer [3] for
future Rtools releases again, like it used to be in Rtools 4.0 [4]?
Thanks!
Daniel
