Winget-ui is great, except Microsoft hasn't figured out to conceptually make two installs of the same product get treated the same -- absolutely pathetic that if you install VLC from their website you can never ever ever use Winget VLC without uninstalling the other.
That does work for me in general, might be a problem with the specific app where the 2 builds are somehow incompatible
Happens on...maybe 30% of installs
Android has that issue too. Can't install the same app via fdroid and play store. Sounds logical though. Even Arch pacman won't continue of it detects existing files it doesn't know about.
