CatalogPackage.DefaultInstallVersion throws an exception on Windows 10 since v1.11.400

Brief description of your issue

After updating Winget to v1.11.400 my c# test application breaks on Windows 10 machines (on Win 11 it works fine). It tries to collect all Winget supported applications on the device. For this it creates a composite catalog and checks the package's DefaultInstallVersion property.:

CatalogPackage package = searchResult.Matches[i].CatalogPackage;
if (searchResult.Matches[i].CatalogPackage.DefaultInstallVersion != null)
{
    wingetApps.Add(new(package.InstalledVersion.Id, package.Id, package.InstalledVersion.DisplayName, package.DefaultInstallVersion.PackageCatalog.Info.Name, productCode, package.InstalledVersion.Version));
}

Previously this code was working fine on win10, but after the update, if the package has Winget support, reading the DefaultInstallVersion throws a System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException without any additional info. The stacktrace:

at WinRT.ExceptionHelpers.<ThrowExceptionForHR>g__Throw|38_0(Int32 hr)
at ABI.Microsoft.Management.Deployment.ICatalogPackageMethods.get_DefaultInstallVersion(IObjectReference _obj)
at Microsoft.Management.Deployment.CatalogPackage.get_DefaultInstallVersion()
at SoftwareDiscovery.Helpers.Inventory.WingetHelper.GetWingetHandledApps() in

First I tried it with the old COM interop nuget package (v1.10.340), then with the new one (v1.11.400) but the result was the same.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a composite catalog that contains any available sources on the device
2. Connect to the catalog and obtain [all/some] packages.
3. Iterate over the obtained packages and try to read DefaultInstallVersion. - If the package has Winget support it throws an exception

Expected behavior

Reading the DefaultInstallVersion should return the package info, just like on win 11.

Actual behavior

CatalogPackage throws an exception when trying to read the DefaultInstallVersion prop.

Start by reproducing the composite-catalog scenario on Windows 10 v10.0.19045.5965 with Windows Package Manager v1.11.400, then compare reading CatalogPackage.DefaultInstallVersion on Windows 11. Done means the property no longer throws a System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException for packages with Winget support and returns the package information described in the expected behavior.
