Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

winget tries to upgrade the package JetBrains.IntelliJIDEA.Ultimate 2023.1.4 with the same version any time you run upgrade.

Steps to reproduce

The initial installation of version 2023.1.4 runs successfully. This is what the "installed" list looks like after setup:

PS C:\Windows\System32> winget list --source winget
Name                                                    Id                                                  Version            Available
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IntelliJ IDEA 2023.1.4                                  JetBrains.IntelliJIDEA.Ultimate                     > 2023.1           2023.1.4

But when you run "winget upgrade" afterwards, the same version is found again as an upgrade. It is then tried to run the upgrade, which fails.

Actual behavior

winget tries to upgrade with the same package that is already installed. (This may be because the listed version is wrong)
The upgrade then fails, as the installer finds the existing installation, and exits the installation.

Expected behavior

winget should not try to upgrade the package with the same version already installed.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with winget list --source winget and winget upgrade for JetBrains.IntelliJIDEA.Ultimate on the reported environment. Compare the installed and available versions, then inspect the package manifest associated with that ID. Done means winget no longer offers an upgrade when both versions are 2023.1.4.
