Description

### Please confirm these before moving forward

- [x] I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- [x] I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

### Category of the issue

Installation issue.

### Brief description of your issue

Attempting to update DuckDB CLI from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0 fails with:
```
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
0x80070490 : Element not found.
Installer failed with exit code: 0x80070490 : Element not found.
```

I suspect this relates to the user folder containing non-ASCII characters such as 'ä'. See #283840.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Have the letter "ä" in your user folder.
2. Update DuckDb.CLI with `winget upgrade duckdb.cli`

### Actual behavior

Installation fails

### Expected behavior

DuckDb is updated to 1.4.0.

### Environment

```raw
> winget --info
Windows Package Manager (Preview) v1.12.250-preview
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.26100.6584
System Architecture: X64

(I tried first v1.11.510 and the error was the same)
```

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with `winget upgrade duckdb.cli` using a Windows user folder containing `ä`, then review the attached WinGet log and related issue #283840. Done means DuckDB CLI updates from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0 without the 0x80070490 error.
