winget-cli winget tries to upgrade .NET 5 Runtime over and over

Brief description of your issue

I have two .NET runtimes installed side by side: 5 and 6

winget sees the 5.0.17 version and tries to upgrade it to 6.0.7, even though 6.0.7 is already installed on the machine.

Steps to reproduce

Install .NET Runtime 5.0.17
Install .NET Runtime 6.0.7
Run winget upgrade
You'll see the following:

Name                                               Id                                Version       Available     Source
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft .NET Runtime 6.0                         Microsoft.DotNet.Runtime.6        5.0.17.31213  6.0.7         winget

Expected behavior

winget treats .NET Runtime 5 and 6 as two different applications and does not offer new .NET 6 versions for .NET 5.

Actual behavior

winget treats .NET Runtime 5 and 6 the same application, offering new .NET 6 versions as upgrades for .NET 5.

Environment

Windows Package Manager v1.2.11601
Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.19044.1766
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.17.11601.0

The issue with dotnet runtimes is due to there being multiple versions of the runtime installed side-by-side and is related to

#1413

We have enhancements in Windows Package Manager 1.3 support for "AppsAndFeatures" data that will help in this scenario.

For me, this situation is a little bit different... I have installed only one version 5.0.13

but winget list to install version 3.1.27

Can you try with "--verbose-logs" and share the resulting logs? I'd also like to know which version of Windows Package Manager you're running.

@denelon Yes:

I am also having this issue with different versions of the .NET runtime and winget. I have .NET 6.0.23 installed and winget would like me to upgrade it to 6.0.25. However, I already have that version installed as well.

In any case, winget downloads and attempts to install 6.0.25 and then closes shortly after starting the install. If I try to upgrade with the the -id flag, I get the "No installed packages [...]" message. If I try to install with the id, the package is found, downloaded and tries to install.

I have also found and ran the .NET Fix Repair tool, and it found no issues with my installed packages.

Winget version v1.6.3421
