Description
Brief description of your issue
Currently every time I run winget update --all, it will upgrade Microsoft.DotNet.HostingBundle.8 to Version 8.0.1
It appears to successfully install, but next time I run winget update --all it installs again.
In the past I have had the same issue with different packages. My resolution was to uninstall the package, then install again via winget (originally they were installed from a downloaded exe)
I tried the same strategory this time but it didn't work. Still tries to install HostingBundle Version 8.0.1 each time.
How can I resolve this?
Steps to reproduce
- Have Microsoft.DotNet.HostingBundle.8 Version 8.0 installed.
- Run
winget update --all
Expected behavior
Expected it to update just once
Actual behavior
It updates every time
