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

Updating of this package will OVERWRITE customized httpd.conf WITHOUT CONFIRMATION.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install an old version of ApacheLounge.httpd.
2. run "winget upgrade -ri"

### Actual behavior

New version of ApacheLounge.httpd installed and overwrite the whole folder (including httpd.conf) of old version.

### Expected behavior

Installation failed because the target folder is not empty (like the behavior before this bug occurs) or ask user if to replace the old httpd.conf or not (a better logic I think and also the logic in the Linux).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the ApacheLounge.httpd package metadata and the attached WinGet log, then reproduce the upgrade with `winget upgrade -ri` using a customized `httpd.conf`. Determine whether the package definition or installer behavior controls the overwrite; done means an upgrade no longer silently replaces the customized configuration, either by refusing the non-empty target or requesting confirmation.
