### Brief description of your issue

Hey, i have Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.RemoteTools installed and since 1 month i get this package always updated. For me it seems to be a version mismatch as the package it tries to install to is mentioned 17.14.0, but the version .the installer is installing is 17.0.36109.1. Due to this conflict winget always try to install 17.14.0 with the installer of .17.0.36109.1. I think the version number 17.14.0 is wrong in this context

### Steps to reproduce

Install Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.RemoteTools with following package: https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/6a9a4e40-04d5-4d93-9412-5ac7ab10d9ff/1322ea151fe5fa3b157fb3e5d92157ea680a4cc60bdf3fd854b46be4c3de4230/VS_RemoteTools.exe

Run winget upgrade --all

### Actual behavior

winget to install the exact same version again, another call of winget upgrade --all will again try to update

### Expected behavior

winget finds out that this version is already installed, another call of winget upgrade --all will NOT try to update

Research direction

Find the manifest for Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.RemoteTools and compare its version metadata with the linked VS_RemoteTools.exe and the attached WinGet logs. Reproduce the behavior with winget upgrade --all. Done when the installed version is recognized and repeated upgrades no longer propose the same package.
