Description

Please confirm these before moving forward
  • I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
  • I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.
Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

I updated qBittorent and "Apps an Features" says 5.0.5 is installed and so does winget. However, if I start the software, it is still 5.0.4.

Steps to reproduce

Unknown. I had 5.0.4 installed (updated by winget several times I think) and updated to 5.0.5 about a week ago. Today I started it and it was 5.0.4. After manual update it is 5.0.5, so installer is fine.

Actual behavior

Old version still installed, but labeled as new version.

Expected behavior

new version installed (labeled as new version)

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the winget update from qBittorrent 5.0.4 to 5.0.5 on the reported Windows environment and compare the installed executable with the package metadata; done means the update launches 5.0.5 rather than retaining 5.0.4.
