[Package Issue]: Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7

Please confirm these before moving forward

• I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
• I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

Category of the issue

Multiple installed packages found.

Brief description of your issue

winget upgrade --all / winget upgrade --exact --id Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 doesn't upgrade the .NET SDK, but instead installs new side-by-side

Similar issue, when the user got confused: #107081

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 version 7.0.307
2. winget upgrade
3. It shows and available update (7.0.400 at this moment)
4. winget upgrade --all / winget upgrade --exact --id Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7
5. The latest version is installed
6. winget upgrade
7. It still shows the previous version 7.0.307 (and there's no mention of the latest 7.0.400)
8. winget list
9. It shows Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 installed multiple times - both the old and the new versions.

Actual behavior

The latest Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 version is installed in addition to the old one(s) / side-by-side

Expected behavior

The not-pinned installed version of Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 package is updated to the latest version available.

Except for the pinned versions, the latest version of Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 should be the only remaining after the upgrade.

The versions from Visual Studio should not be included in this upgrade process - they should be excluded / pinned automatically / marked as some other software. This is a separate issue, but related.

Screenshots and Logs

No response

Other

As a result, these (common?) issues occur for .NET 7 SDK package:

• winget list shows both versions
• winget list --upgrade-available shows the old version
• winget list Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 shows only the new version
• winget list Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 --upgrade-available shows that there are no packages matching criteria
• winget upgrade shows upgrade available for the old version
• winget uninstall --exact --id Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 --version 7.0.307 runs the uninstaller for the latest version 7.0.400
  So you can't even install new -> uninstall old with winget.

Start by reproducing the behavior with the reported winget upgrade, list, and uninstall commands using Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 versions 7.0.307 and 7.0.400. Trace the package upgrade and installed-package selection entry points; done means the unpinned package upgrades without leaving the old version incorrectly reported, while pinned or Visual Studio versions retain their stated behavior.
