Description
Brief description of your issue
I tried to install VS2022 using winget install -e Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community
Howerver, I had already a VS Installer Window open so the setup was canceled with this message: "Cannot start another instance of the installer while this instance is running".
This is totally fine and expected. But when I close this message winget seems to assume the installation was completed as it prints out "Successfully installed"
Steps to reproduce
Open Visual Studio Installer then execute winget install -e Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community
Expected behavior
Writing out an error that the installation was canceled or failed.
Actual behavior
Message saying: "Installation successfully"
Environment
Windows Package Manager v1.2.10941
Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.22000.675
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.17.10941.0
