### Brief description of your issue
Hello!
I have two Windows x64 systems where VLC 3.0.20 (x64) was installed using the provided MSI.
This is not recognized by Winget and thus nomupdate to 3.0.22 can be done.
A manual installation of the 3.0.22 MSI is also not recognized by Winget.
Using the VLC exe-installer does not cause the problem, Winget will update 3.0.20 to 3.0.22 correctly.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the mismatch with the VideoLAN.VLC 3.0.22 MSI on Windows x64 and compare it with the EXE installer path described in the report. Done means Winget recognizes the MSI installation and can identify the available update.
