Description
Brief description of your issue
When trying to create a package for PlantUML, I found that the .jar file was renamed by winget-cli from plantuml.jar to plantuml.exe. This prevents packages of non-executable.
Steps to reproduce
Grab the manifest from here:
- https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/110767
- run
winget install --manifest F:\Files\Git\winget-pkgs-1\manifests\p\PlantUML\PlantUML\v1.2023.9\ - open up the directory which it was installed, for me this was
C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\PlantUML.PlantUML__DefaultSource.
Expected behavior
The file saved as plantuml.jar
Actual behavior
The file is renamed to plantuml.jar.exe

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the PlantUML manifest from microsoft/winget-pkgs pull request 110767 and the documented winget install command. Trace how winget-cli handles the downloaded .jar for a non-exe target; done means the installed file remains plantuml.jar instead of being renamed to plantuml.jar.exe.
