version number 'unknown' for azure VPN client (msstore) 3.1.2

[gihanruk]

Brief description of your issue

Winget wont list the version number for azure VPN client and deploying via Intune throws an error.

Steps to reproduce

winget show "azure vpn client" --versions

This will produce below:

Found Azure VPN Client [9NP355QT2SQB]
Version
-------
Unknown

tested with winget versions: 1.4.11071 and updated to version 1.5.1881 and tested produced same result.

if I use the search option:

winget search "azure vpn client"

get below result

Name             Id           Version Source
----------------------------------------------
Azure VPN Client 9NP355QT2SQB Unknown msstore

If I install the app via Microsoft Store and then use winget to List it will produce below

PS C:\Users\GihanDewaraja> winget list "azure vpn client"
Name             Id           Version Source
----------------------------------------------
Azure VPN Client 9NP355QT2SQB 3.1.3.0 msstore

Because of this issue, we cant version pin an app using the version number. and the ID points to Microsoft Store ID instead of the ID displayed for other apps. for instance if I search for Docker CLI I get below result.

Name       Id               Version Source
-------------------------------------------
Docker CLI Docker.DockerCLI 24.0.2  winget

The source here is winget so may be this is a store to winget translation issue?

similarly, when we deploy apps to Intune using 'Windows app (Win 32)' method, we get below error on our deployment log.

Not sure the second unknown error 0x80070520 we get on our deployment logs also related to this.

I have tested this on several computers producing same output.

Especially the Intune deployment produced the same output for VPN Client. Modified the script to one liner, Only command running via PowerShell was:

Invoke-Expression ".\winget.exe install --name 'Azure VPN Client' --silent --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements"

and it still produced the same output with unknown error 0x80070520

Expected behavior

Expected to have a version number 3.1.3 rather 'Unknown'

Actual behavior

As mentioned above, gets 'Unknown' for version.

And creating a deployment package using IntuneWinAppUtil.exe produce an intunewin file that we deploy using Intune throws the above 0x80070520 : unknown error.

The lack of a version number is tracked with the issue below. We're working with the Microsoft Store team to expose the version numbers, but they currently display "Unknown" as a sentinel value.

Can you run the install with "--verbose-logs --logs" and share the results from the failed install?

Do you get the same error when attempting an install on a local machine, or does this only happening when attempting to perform the install via Intune?

[gihanruk]

install via Intune.

locally executing the script works though it still says version is 'unknown'.

when execute via intune we get the same unknown version on top it wont install saying 0x80070520 : unknown error which is giving us a lot of grief.

As we deploy a lot of apps from intune using winget. we dont want to blindly allow all apps to update via Microsoft Store as it might break important apps and create an outage so we need the version pinning to work so we can test them first and then deploy to all staff.

Any update on this issue Denelon? @denelon

When the package is installed, WinGet will see the installed version via the control panel. When you run winget search <package> -s msstore some packages will have their version information. In many cases, the "msstore" source doesn't provide the version information so WinGet knows if an update is available.
