Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

i think that's a bug in the Logitech GHUB installer but it's a very annoying one - it fails to install if newer versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64 / x86) are installed and it cannot force-downgrade them.

Research direction

The issue names PackageDependencies but no files, tests, or implementation entry point. Start by locating PackageDependencies and its dependency-version handling, then determine the expected maximum-version behavior; done means package dependencies can express and enforce an upper version bound for the reported installer case.
