Description
Brief description of your issue
when performing the following on a win 11 machine winget provides an incorrect response for the available upgrade package of
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64) - 12.0.30… Microsoft.VCRedist.2013.x64 version 12.0.40664.0. It cannot be found.
winget upgrade microsoft.vcredist.2013.x64
No applicable upgrade found.
I believe this response to be correct as I cannot find the supposed "Available" version 12.0.40664.0 for the given package.
Either the suggested version is wrongly provided by winget upgrade or there is a package missing
Steps to reproduce
when performing the following on a win 11 machine:
winget upgrade
the following response is:
**Name Id Version Available Source
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64) - 12.0.30… Microsoft.VCRedist.2013.x64 12.0.30501.0 12.0.40664.0 winget**
Following up with an upgrade request for the package we get a no applicable upgrade found request.
winget upgrade microsoft.vcredist.2013.x64
No applicable upgrade found.
I believe this response to be correct as I cannot find the supposed "Available" version 12.0.40664.0 for the given package.
Expected behavior
I expected the suggested most current package to download and install.
Actual behavior
the most current version is not found, a normal not found error is provided.
