Brief description of your issue

WinGet forgets the installed version of gnome.Dia immediately after upgrading, leading to unnecessary repeated upgrades in subsequent runs.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open PowerShell
  2. Run winget install dia --scope machine --source winget to install Dia if not already installed
  3. After installation, run winget upgrade --all --include-unknown
  4. Observe that gnome.Dia shows "Unknown" in the Version column, but has an "Available" version listed
  5. Allow the upgrade to proceed and complete successfully
  6. Immediately run winget upgrade --all --include-unknown again
  7. Notice that gnome.Dia still shows as "Unknown" in the Version column and is again offered for upgrade to the same version that was just installed

Actual behavior

Winget successfully upgrades gnome.Dia to the latest available version. However, it immediately "forgets" this version information. In subsequent runs, even immediately after an upgrade, the Version column remains "Unknown" for gnome.Dia. This results in winget repeatedly offering to upgrade gnome.Dia to the same version in every run, creating a loop of unnecessary upgrades.

Expected behavior

After a successful upgrade, winget should remember and correctly display the installed version of gnome.Dia. Subsequent winget upgrade commands should not offer to upgrade gnome.Dia unless a newer version is actually available. The Version column should show the correct installed version, and gnome.Dia should only be listed for upgrade when there's a genuine new version available.

This nullsoft installer does not write version information to the Windows Registry. Maybe it's the reason.

[!NOTE]

Although I add AppsAndFeaturesEntries to the manifest, there's still no DisplayVersion and Publisher information written to Windows Registry.

AppsAndFeaturesEntries:
- DisplayName: Dia
  DisplayVersion: 0.97.2
  Publisher: gnome

It's the "upgrade always available" situation again. https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/173833#issuecomment-2356158107
