Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing open and closed issues

With Radarr's (and the other *arr's) update system, the Add/Remove Programs (ARP) entry does not reflect the actually installed version. This can cause problems with things like winget or other system monitoring tools.

Describe the solution you'd like

My preference is that the DisplayName is simply "Radarr" and the DisplayVersion is the correct, currently installed, version.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The DisplayName could just be "Radarr" and the DisplayVersion is the major version only.

Anything else?

Same as Sonarr. The installer is not used for updates and no plans to do so.

looks like we use majorVersion.BuildNumber as the windows version. PR'd accordingly to just use majorVersion like was done for Sonarr

Any update to this? Sonarr implemented it a while ago without much fuss.

Qstick did a close all on the bot and didn't like that approach. There's several github issues and PRs across Servarr for this.

Just because it was showing Radarr instead of Radarr 4?
