Hi
Got a new computer and decided to use winget to keep apps updated.
The version of Remote Utilities - Viewer seems to be 7.7.3.0 even though the url is https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/viewer-7.2.1.0.exe.
There seems to be an issue with the update process?
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/390136
Can someone at RemoteUtillities correct this please.

Hello J F,
Thank you for your message.
The winget repository isn't ours. We don't maintain the winget-pkgs repo or its manifests and don't participate in it in any way. Those manifests are created and maintained by third-party contributors, so they're solely their creators' responsibility — corrections there aren't something we can make on our end.
On the download link: all previous-version links should redirect to the most recent version to date. We update these redirects with every release, but this time it was missed when 7.8.4.0 came out, which is why that URL still served an older file. It'll be fixed shortly. Yet, the links on the download page always lead to the most recent version, and this is the only and canonical download page for Remote Utilities for Windows.
Hope that helps.

Conrad, I also noticed that when visiting the generic download URLs, they are also still returning 7.7.3.0:
https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/agent/
https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/host/
https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/viewer/

Hi Trent,
Yes, sorry. We'll fix the redirect table now.
Thanks for reporting.
