Its up to the individual installers to update their versions in the registry, when they don't, this happens. Winget thinks that the versions arent installed when they really are. |

Ultimately it comes down to this. Winget is still relatively new in the package management scene, and its trying to wrangle a install base of programs that haven't really had to deal with adhering to the standards that securely or having something else seriously try to manage them, so there are a LOT of edge cases and bugs that have to be found, figured out, worked through the best solution that causes the least issues, and applied. |
