2 months ago Hey, thanks for making an issue to help track this. Definitely something that needs fixing and I think I've seen a few other issues discussing getting this on winget, we should definitely make that possible. My bandwidth with other refactors has been a bit sparse to get to it.
Adding a few notes on what needs to happen to fix this:
What needs to happen here is plumbing the tag that the github actions workflow is running on into the .nsis script here.
I believe nsis variables are just env vars -- it may be as simple as fixing https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest/blob/main/scripts/generate-installers.sh#L3-L20 to pass through an env variable to the docker container e.g. VERSION= ...
I think the VERSION can be determined correctly in the github actions workflow by using ${{ github.ref_name }}" as the reference.

Describe the bug Windows installer is missing version and icon, showing no icon and a fake version: 00.00.00.00
To Reproduce Install BackRest on Windows
Expected behavior Whilst the icon is only a nice to have, having the real version displayed enables the user to know which version is installed using Settings/Control Panel, like almost all applications do. Also, it will allow for submission to Windows Package Manager (winget)!
