Eddie not showing its version on Windows

[alesales 0]

Hello AirVPN team,

I just love your service

I have a small request related to Eddie as on Windows is not displaying the version of the Client:

PS C:\Users\Ale> winget upgrade
Name               Id                  Version Available Source
---------------------------------------------------------------
Eddie - OpenVPN UI AirVPN.Eddie        Unknown 2.20.0    winget

This has an impact for people whom, like me, are trying to manage the software using Winget, as winget doesn't see the version and by that mark the package to be updated every time even if I am already at the latest version.

It is possible to check/verify how to insert the version of Eddie in Windows?

Thank you!

I don't quite see how this is an Eddie issue. How does winget parse version information?

The version can be printed with

> \.eddie-ui.exe --cli --version

If winget can execute a program to determine the version and parse its output using regex, this expression could work:

[0-9]\.[0-9]{1,2}\.[0-9]{1,3}.*

Other than that, thank you for the hint to that. I wasn't aware Microsoft themselves decided to implement something like an official package manager. Though, I tend to continue using Chocolatey whenever I deal with Windows because, as always with Microsoft software, winget phones home, and the only way to disable it is to compile winget yourself apparently.

Add Feature Request

Although this isn't an issue, it could be considered an add feature request. Winget uses ARP (Add and Remove Programs) information which is tied to the Registry keys. For the version to appear in ARP, the application software devs would need to modify the code. Thanks
