Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

Installing with the option scope=User or scope=Machine fails
but if no scope option is specified then it works correctly and it installs it to scope machine.
Tested on Win10 and Win11.

By the way the similar package "TrackerSoftware.PDF-XChangeViewer 2.5.322.10"
from the same manufactor works correctly with the scope machine!

Make sure the option scope=Machine can be specified for installing it.

Steps to reproduce

winget install --source "winget" --id "TrackerSoftware.PDF-XChangeEditor" ;

Without specifying scope it installs it correctly in scope machine as expected.

winget uninstall --id "TrackerSoftware.PDF-XChangeEditor" --scope user ;

Info "Es wurde kein installiertes Paket gefunden, das den Eingabekriterien entspricht." as expected

winget uninstall --id "TrackerSoftware.PDF-XChangeEditor" --scope machine ;

uninstall works correctly as expected.

winget install --source "winget" --id "TrackerSoftware.PDF-XChangeEditor" --scope user ;

Results in expected error: Es wurde kein anwendbarer Installer gefunden. ...

**winget install --source "winget" --id "TrackerSoftware.PDF-XChangeEditor" --scope machine ;

UNEXPECTED ERROR: Es wurde kein anwendbarer Installer gefunden. ...**

Actual behavior

Results in UNEXPECTED ERROR: Es wurde kein anwendbarer Installer gefunden. ...

Expected behavior

Should install it.

Research direction

Start by locating the TrackerSoftware.PDF-XChangeEditor package manifest in this repository and compare its installer metadata with the working PDF-XChangeViewer package. Re-run the supplied winget install commands with --scope user and --scope machine; done when both scopes find an applicable installer and install successfully.
