Description
Brief description of your issue
When a package depends on the .NET SDK, the Visual Studio provided copy is not considered. Instead, winget needlessly installs a separate copy of the SDK. winget list does show the Visual Studio copy:
The SDK is not matched to Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.8, and the version is also wrong.
Steps to reproduce
- Install Visual Studio with .NET development
- Install/update LINQPad from winget
- Observe winget installing
Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.8
Expected behavior
winget would consider the Visual Studio provided copy as satisfying the dependency.
Actual behavior
It doesn't.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the report. Start by tracing dependency matching for LINQPad's Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.8 requirement and Visual Studio-installed SDK discovery; done means the existing Visual Studio SDK satisfies that dependency without installing a separate SDK.
