No applicable update found.
Brief description of your issue
The installed machine wide .msi package of Zoom that I install when using the --scope machine flag doesn't show up when I run winget upgrade (even though I know that a newer version exists).
I think that this behavior occurs because for some reason the version number notation of the .msi installed package differs from the WinGet repository (WinGet: 5.17.11.34827 / Registry displayversion for .msi: 5.17.34827 for example).
However, since I want to deploy the machine wide package, I now have to uninstall the current version first and then re-install it.
Steps to reproduce
winget install --exact --id Zoom.Zoom --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --architecture x64 --scope machine --version %old version number%
installs
winget upgrade
package not listed even though a new version is available
Actual behavior
winget upgrade
package not listed even though a new version is available
Expected behavior
winget upgrade
upgrade should be available

Research direction
Start by reproducing the machine-scope install and winget upgrade commands from the issue, then compare the installed Zoom MSI version with the repository metadata for Zoom.Zoom. Trace how the client matches installed MSI versions to package versions; done means the newer Zoom version appears in winget upgrade without uninstalling the current installation.
