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!
