Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Locate the MSI installation flow in winget-cli, then determine how an active MSI installation can be detected, reported to the user, and awaited before continuing; done means concurrent MSI installs are prevented and the later install resumes after the first completes.
