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

Side-By-Side installation.

Brief description of your issue

When you installed Betterbird anywhere else than the default location and try to update via winget, Betterbird installs itself a second time in the default location instead of updating existing installations. This does not happen if you update Betterbird manually by yourself.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Install (an old version of) Betterbird manually by yourself
  2. Choose a custom install location
  3. Let the setup complete
  4. Update Betterbird via winget
Actual behavior

winget installs Betterbird a second time at %programfiles%\Betterbird.

Expected behavior

winget updates the existing installation of Betterbird.
