(texstudio.install) Qt5 version of TexStudio 4.3.1 crashes on boot, should install Qt6 version instead

Expected Behavior

The package should be updated to install the Qt6 version of TexStudio, i.e. https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/releases/download/4.3.1/texstudio-4.3.1-win-qt6.exe .

Current Behavior

Chocolatey installs the Qt5 version of TexStudio by default.

Possible Solution

Change the au_GetLatest function in the update.ps1 script to search for the Qt6 executable. Possibly it would be enough to change line 11 in the script to $re = "download/.+/texstudio-(.+)-win-qt6.exe", but I am no expert so this might not work.

Context

The Qt5 version of TexStudio 4.3.1 has a documented bug on Windows, crashing the program on startup (see also this issue: texstudio-org/texstudio#2569). The solution is to install the Qt6 version instead, as Qt5 is deprecated.

Your Environment

  • Package Version used: 4.3.1
  • Operating System and version: Windows 10, 21H2
  • Chocolatey version: 1.1.0

This should be fixed now, a new package will be build and will be available in the next couple of hours
