Brief description of your issue

Installer validation error in the Azure pipeline: #147284

It seems to be related to a dependency package (Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64) and not my package itself. Short of removing the dependency, I don't see anything that I can push to my PR branch to fix it.

There's an identical Automatic validation error here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/147206#issuecomment-2029833788

And another one where the same error was wavered last week: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/146365#issuecomment-2018115442

Why so many failures with manifests that have winget dependency package requirements in their installer yaml?

Steps to reproduce

Include the following in a package installer manifest:

Dependencies:
PackageDependencies:

• PackageIdentifier: Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64

Expected behavior

The installer verification should not fail.

Environment

This is not a winget client issue. This is an issue submitting a new version of a manifest to winget-pkgs. winget --info is not relevant.

Screenshots and Logs

No response

Start with the Azure pipeline validation failure referenced as #147284 and compare the dependency manifest examples linked in the issue. Reproduce validation using Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64 in PackageDependencies, then trace why version 14.38.33135.0 has no suitable installer. Done means the manifest passes installer verification without removing the dependency.
