Brief description of your issue

If you upgrade an existing JetBrains.IntelliJIDEA.Ultimate installation, the previous version is not removed. The uninstall of the previous version is not done silently. You will see a IntelliJ IDEA Uninstall box where you have to make choices.

According to the yaml file, the previous versions should be removed. That is not done as this box prevents the uninstall of any previous version. So, the previous version is not uninstalled.

JetBrains.IntelliJIDEA.Community has the same issue. Please, check that one also. Maybe other Jetbrains products have this issue too.

Steps to reproduce
"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.23.1911.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\winget.exe" install --exact --id JetBrains.IntelliJIDEA.Ultimate --version "2023.1" --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --scope machine --source winget

"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.23.1911.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\winget.exe" upgrade --exact --id JetBrains.IntelliJIDEA.Ultimate --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --scope machine --source winget

Install an old version and perform the upgrade to the latest version.

Actual behavior

Two - or more - old versions side by side.

Expected behavior

Silent uninstall of the previous version and installation of the latest version.

Environment
WinGet version: v1.8.1911
Screenshots and Logs

It seems that the uninstall.exe process starts another process: Un_A.exe. That process is waiting for user input.

Research direction

Start with the JetBrains.IntelliJIDEA.Ultimate YAML manifest and compare JetBrains.IntelliJIDEA.Community; reproduce the issue with the supplied winget install and upgrade commands using --silent. Verify completion by checking whether the previous version is removed without the IntelliJ uninstall dialog, and check related JetBrains manifests for the same behavior.
