qBittorent 4.3.3 x64 installer update failed to work

[wolvenworks]

Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.3.3 x64, Windows 10.

What is the problem

could not update qBittorent to this version from 4.3.2. A messagebox appeared saying "Error opening file for writing" on the qBittorent.exe file. Installer has been redownloaded and the same issue persists. This issue also basically deletes your existing copy of qBittorrent due to the reinstalling process being stuck.

What is the expected behavior

update gets installed. duh.

Steps to reproduce

1. gets notification from qBittorent to update to 4.3.3
2. download the installer file as requested
3. run installer
4. get screwed by the installer.
5. get frustrated and confused.
6. delete and redownload the installer
7. run the "new" copy of the installer
8. get screwed by the installer. again.

Extra info(if any)

y'all should really make the update process simpler and does not include having to download a faulty installer.

You probably did, but, have you tried "Run as administrator" option? Windows UAC might be the cause.
