winget tries to upgrade .NET 5 Runtime over and over

[exchange12rocks]

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

1. Install .NET Runtime 5.0.17
2. Install .NET Runtime 6.0.7
3. Run winget upgrade
4. 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

• Unable to disambiguate package Microsoft.VC++2013Redist-x64 #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

o course when I try install it

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.
