Brief description of your issue

I have already had this application installed before, and now winget propose an update for it, but can't detect the current version installed, but proposes an update (a phantom update, because I am on the same version)
I've already uninstalled it, and installed it again via winget, always the same.

Steps to reproduce

Just install WinDirStat and afterwards check with a winget upgrade.
You can see that winget can't determine the currently installed version, so it proposes the update which doesn't work as well.
May be it has something to do with the language of my windows which is in French.

Actual behavior

Can't determine the currently installed version so proposes the update always!

Expected behavior

Determine the current version correctly and not proposing any update for it.

This issue will be resolved in winget v1.3, and a preview release is available now. Note that there are some bugs in this release that have been resolved (a new preview release hasn't been cut yet), but it will get rid of your problem if you want to give it a shot.

Thanks, I can confirm that the new release doesn't show the version Unknown, but I have the same problem yet, as it's just not showing the unknown versions.
The result can be the same by including the new --include-unknown parameter.
So the real issue which is determining the version of the application is still there.
I've not yet have enough time to investigate how does the version is determined by winget, but it can't be determined for WinDirStat anyway at the moment, event with the new version of winget, so maybe problem in definition or lack of functionality to be able to find the version, or just maybe the language.
As I said didn't have time to investigate more yet.

The issue is with WinDirStat not reporting a DisplayVersion to Windows.
There is nothing we can do as that is the developers fault. Which is why there is a --include-unknown workaround for these packages.
