### 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.
