Description
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
Installation issue.
Brief description of your issue
When one installs the package with ID = Daum.PotPlayer from the winget source, the installed package shows in winget with a different name and with no source.
On a 64-bit PC, it is installed as with ID = PotPlayer64
Steps to reproduce
- run winget search 'Daum.PotPlayer'
- Note that there's a package with that ID
- run winget install 'Daum.PotPlayer'
- run winget list | Select-String 'Daum.PotPlayer'
- notice the list is empty
- run winget list | Select-String 'PotPlayer'
- notice a package listed with ID = PotPlayer64 and source field is empty
Actual behavior
The winget package installs itself under a different ID with no mention of it being from winget.
Note in the below output, I'm on a Korean work PC and the installed name "팟플레이어-64비트" is Korean for "PotPlayer-64bit".
> winget search 'Daum.PotPlayer'
