How to update Windows app using Wine

Post by chaoticbeliever »

Hello,

i am having wine 3.19
4.18 Linux Debian kernel

running Linux I connected my Windows 7 system partition where i have installed in "Program Files" folder a windows 64bit version of qBittorrent (https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/) torrent client.

And i launched its .exe and it apparently works to run under Linux.

The qbt has its configuration files here:
/home/YOURUSERNAME/.wine/drive_c/users/YOURUSERNAME/Application Data/qBittorrent/
/home/YOURUSERNAME/.wine/drive_c/users/YOURUSERNAME/Local Settings/Application Data/qBittorrent/

I am used to updating qbittorrent using .exe windows installer downloaded from https://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php which detect installed qbt and offer an upgrade.

Now my question is how to properly update Windows app like qbittorrent being on Linux.

I do not like running qbt over Wine, but qbt till this day [failed to create transferable configuration files or a user-friendly way to migrate the configuration between Windows and Linux](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/9912).
