Start by reproducing the VMware-Horizon-Client-2312.1-8.12.1-23531249.exe installation and the winget install VMware.HorizonClient command on a clean Windows machine. Compare the dependencies each installation selects; done means the WinGet package installs successfully with the expected predefined dependency versions.
