Description

Brief description of your issue

winget expects a version string like 5.15.7.20303 but sees a version string of 5.15.7 (20303).
winget then incorrectly flags this package as upgradable.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Install Zoom from msstore (XP99J3KP4XZ4VV)
  2. Run winget upgrade
  3. winget returns:
Name                  Id               Version        Available    Source
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zoom                  XP99J3KP4XZ4VV   5.15.7 (20303) 5.15.7.20303 winget
  1. Notice the two version strings should mean the same thing.
Expected behavior

winget should not flag zoom as upgradable.

Actual behavior

winget thinks zoom is not up to date.
