### Brief description of your issue
Updating from the prior version of the package to this one results in no updated status within WinGet, even though the update does seem to have happened to the Itch client.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Have Itch client v26.17.0 installed
2. `winget update itchio.itch`
### Actual behavior
WinGet status for the package does not change; it still indicates v26.17.0 installed with v26.18.0 available.
### Expected behavior
WinGet status reflects the new version.

Research direction
Reproduce the report with `winget list itchio.itch` and `winget update itchio.itch` using Itch 26.17.0 and 26.18.0. Compare the package's installed-version detection with the successful installer output; done means `winget list itchio.itch` reports 26.18.0 installed and no longer offers that update.
