Brief description of your issue

We are Efficient Elements GmbH, the publisher of Efficient Elements for presentations.

In addition to our publicly available generic installer, we provide customer-specific builds of Efficient Elements for presentations. These customer-specific distributions must not be replaced by the generic public distribution.

We have observed that Windows Package Manager correlates customer-specific installations with EfficientElements.Presentations. As a result, winget upgrade / winget upgrade --all may replace a customer-specific installation with the generic public version.

This causes loss of customer-specific configuration/functionality and results in broken customer installations.

We therefore request that the package be removed or otherwise prevented from upgrading existing installations until the package correlation can reliably distinguish the generic distribution from our customer-specific distributions.

The only reliable way to identify a customer-specific version is the last quadruple of the version number. The generic installer may only be used for upgrade if the last quadruple of the version number is "1", e.g. 4.5.2600.1. If the installed version is 4.5.2600.123, for example, no upgrade is allowed.

Steps to reproduce

This can only be reproduced with customer-specific versions which we cannot publish here for obvious reasons.

Actual behavior

Customer-specific versions (last quadruple of version number != 1) of Efficient Elements for presentations are upgraded by WinGet

Expected behavior

Customer-specific versions (last quadruple of version number != 1) of Efficient Elements for presentations should not be upgraded by WinGet

Screenshots and Logs

No response

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how WinGet correlates installed EfficientElements.Presentations versions during upgrade, then determine whether the final version component is available to that logic. Done means customer-specific versions whose last component is not 1 are not upgraded, while versions ending in .1 remain eligible.
