Description

Please confirm these before moving forward
  • I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
  • I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.
Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

When I execute "winget upgrade --all" it doesn't download the x86 version of the Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6 package which is installed side-by-side on x64-based installations.

Steps to reproduce

Execute "winget upgrade --all".

Actual behavior

It downloads the x64 version when it should be downloading the x86 version since both need to be updated.

Expected behavior

It should be downloading both the x86 and the x64 versions.

Research direction

Start by reproducing winget upgrade --all on the listed Windows environment with side-by-side x86 and x64 Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6 installations, then inspect the diagnostic logs in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\DiagOutputDir. Done means the command upgrades both architectures rather than only the x64 package.
