Description

Brief description of your issue

I am not able to update installed packages by either piping package names to Update-WinGetPackage or using the command directly

Steps to reproduce

I am using the version 0.2.2 of winget.

Find-WinGetPackage Microsoft.VisualStudioCode -Source winget

Name                                      Id                                      Version Source
----                                      --                                      ------- ------
Microsoft Visual Studio Code              Microsoft.VisualStudioCode              1.86.0  winget
Microsoft Visual Studio Code Insiders CLI Microsoft.VisualStudioCode.Insiders.CLI 1.87.0  winget
Microsoft Visual Studio Code Insiders     Microsoft.VisualStudioCode.Insiders     1.87.0  winget
Microsoft Visual Studio Code CLI          Microsoft.VisualStudioCode.CLI          1.86.0  winget

Attempting to install the first one, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, returns an error (I think):

Find-WinGetPackage Microsoft.VisualStudioCode -source winget| Select-Object -First 1 | Update-WinGetPackage

CorrelationData    :
InstallerErrorCode : 0
ExtendedErrorCode  : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8A150002): 0x8A150002
RebootRequired     : False
Status             : InvalidOptions

Starting Code and checking about confirms that it was not updated. I also tried using Update-WinGetPackage directly, I end up with the same above issue:

Update-WinGetPackage Microsoft.VisualStudioCode -Source winget

CorrelationData    :
InstallerErrorCode : 0
ExtendedErrorCode  : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8A150002): 0x8A150002
RebootRequired     : False
Status             : InvalidOptions
Expected behavior

Update the visual studio code application

Actual behavior

I get an error (mentioned above)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the direct and piped Update-WinGetPackage commands from the report with the stated WinGet and Windows versions, and inspect the command's handling of Microsoft.VisualStudioCode. Done means both forms update Visual Studio Code successfully without returning Status: InvalidOptions.
