I had a similar problem very recently. I was executing the old installer
in my ~/dl directory instead of the one in /usr/bin. This was due to
ignorance. I should have been using /usr/bin. Naturally, this falls under
the "user error" category.
Despite these things this erroneous and ignorant user is reqesting that the
win4lin installer either:
- update the installer in /usr/bin && the one in the directory where it
was executed from
or
- check for a newer version elsewhere on the system and alert the user
of there presence
There's probably a better way to handle this, but this is just my initial
impression.
