Multiple installed packages found.

Brief description of your issue

The package Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.7 (since 7.0.4) incorrectly finds pre version 7 versions.

Steps to reproduce

Upgrade Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.7 to version 7.0.4

Actual behavior

Older versions of Microsoft DotNet DesktopRuntime (in my case 6.0.15 (both x86 and x64) and 3.1.32 (x64)) are matched by the Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.7 manifest.

Expected behavior

None 7.x versions of this package should not be matched by the 7 version of this package.
