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
- Install (an old version of) Betterbird manually by yourself
- Choose a custom install location
- Let the setup complete
- Update Betterbird via winget
Actual behavior
winget installs Betterbird a second time at %programfiles%\Betterbird.
Expected behavior
winget updates the existing installation of Betterbird.
