### Category of the issue
Installation issue.
### Brief description of your issue
`winget install -e --id JetBrains.ReSharper` reports success but installs nothing into Visual Studio 2026.
ReSharper can be installed with `winget install -e --id JetBrains.ReSharper --override "/Silent=True /VsVersion=18.0"` but the overrides shouldn't be necessary.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Have a fresh Visual Studio 2022 or 2026 install (no prior ReSharper / dotUltimate).
2. Run: `winget install -e --id JetBrains.ReSharper`.
3. `winget` reports the install succeeded.
4. Open Visual Studio. ReSharper is not present (no `Extensions > ReSharper` menu, no entry in Add/Remove Programs, no files under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\Installations`).
### Actual behavior
`winget` reports the install succeeded, but ReSharper isn't actually installed; there's no extension in Visual Studio, no Add/Remove Programs entry, and no files under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\Installations`.
The JetBrains installer is invoked with only `/Silent=True`. It detects Visual Studio correctly and marks ReSharper as `default action: Install`, but with no `/VsVersion` argument it selects zero install targets and exits. From the install log:
```
Install completed successfully.
Products before install
No products installed by JetBrains dotUltimate Installer.
Install targets
no targets
Products after install
No products installed by JetBrains dotUltimate Installer.
```
`winget` treats it as a successful install even though nothing was installed because the installer returns `0`.
### Expected behavior
`winget install -e --id JetBrains.ReSharper` should result in ReSharper being installed into the user's Visual Studio (or fail with a non-zero exit code if no compatible VS is found), instead of silently exiting with success and installing nothing.
### Environment
```raw
Windows Package Manager v1.28.240
Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.26200.8246
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.28.239.0
```

Contributor guide
Research direction
Locate the JetBrains.ReSharper package manifest in winget-pkgs and inspect how the JetBrains installer is invoked. Compare the default command with the documented /VsVersion override and verify that winget install -e --id JetBrains.ReSharper installs into Visual Studio or reports failure when no compatible target exists.
