....just because an issue is old and known doesn't make it easy to fix
We've started working on these "side-by-side" types of issues. The latest WinGet 1.8-preview has an experimental feature which can be enabled and may improve the experience here.

Great! How can I test the new preview?
(Sorry, I can't recall how to install the different version.)
You can install the preview versions here at GitHub in the releases section. The release notes also cover which experimental features are available. You can run winget settings -?
in the client to see the help and get a link to the settings available for the client.

Having this exact issue with Cuda versioning, however sideBySide only slightly helps:
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 12.4 Nvidia.CUDA > 12.3.2 12.4.1 winget
Can't install with sideBySide enabled as it gives a GetVariant Error (see https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/4425)
Yes, I tried by installing the 1.8-preview.
Indeed the issues with multiple CUDA versions were gone, and also the Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6
issue.
To Install winget preview, do this:
# 0. Check winget features
winget features
# 1. Download "-preview" from:
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases
# 2. Run (as admin):
Add-AppxPackage -Path '.\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle'
# 3. Change feature settings:
winget settings
# 4. Add:
"experimentalFeatures": {
"sideBySide": true
}
# Check
winget --info
# To Revert, download & run (the non-preview version):
Add-AppxPackage -Path '.\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.1.7.11132.msixbundle' -ForceUpdateFromAnyVersion
However, I had to revert because the output formatting of winget list
was awful, where all the Id
s had been replaced with MSIX/....
something.
OT Warning!
This brings up another (OT) issue.
Why can't we install whatever version we like using the id
and Version/Available
strings?
That would make much more sense, than having to run Add-AppxPackage
.
One would expect something like the following to work:
winget install -i -e "Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle" -v '1.7.11132`
I have the same problem or to state it clear: I have only CUDA 12.4.1 installed and get with winget update (upgrade) NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 12.4 Nvidia.CUDA > 12.3.2 12.4.1 winget So there is a flaw in detecting the installed version, is this corrected in some winget version resp. will it be fixed in future versions?
As of today winget correctly detects the installed 12.4.1 version, consequently no update is suggested anymore (no multiple / side-by-side installation present).

What do you mean? The latest release was 2 weeks ago, with 1.7.11261
, so what are you using?
(Not fixed for this version.)

I have this version too and for me CUDA 12.4.1 is correctly detected. The multi version (side by side) issue is most probably still present. Just guessing probably the version info downloaded by "winget (source) update" got updated.
Brief description of your issue
I installed the latest Nvidia.CUDA package/drivers and now winget reports multiple updates available for the same package.
Steps to reproduce
Install old version, unless you already have one. Then install the latest version.
Expected behavior
That the package is reported as up-to-date / latest, and not shown when using the
--upgrade-available
Actual behavior
Showing multiple available versions for the same package id, even if already at latest.
Environment
winget --info
