Description

Brief description of your issue

I am encountering the same issue as described in the previously closed #1433. However, I am using the latest version described in Environment below.

I have tried reinstalling and downgrading Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller. The 0x800700b7 still persists.

Log entry:

2023-07-27 09:03:12.947 [FAIL] D:\a\_work\1\s\external\pkg\src\AppInstallerRepositoryCore\Microsoft\Schema\1_0\Interface_1_0.cpp(190)\WindowsPackageManager.dll!00007FFAA973A05D: (caller: 00007FFAA973FEF9) Exception(1) tid(22f0) 800700B7 Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
Steps to reproduce

winget list
winget upgrade

Expected behavior

Commands should execute without error.

Actual behavior
Failed to open the predefined source; please report to winget maintainers.
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
0x800700b7 : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with winget list and winget upgrade, then start from the logged location external/pkg/src/AppInstallerRepositoryCore/Microsoft/Schema/1_0/Interface_1_0.cpp(190). Done means both commands execute without the predefined-source error and 0x800700b7 message.
