Cannot install PowerShell 7

[HurricanKai]

PowerShell 7 and PowerShell Core have the same ID, not sure how that's even possible, but it's now impossible to install PowerShell via winget.

winget install -e Microsoft.PowerShell installs PowerShell 7, but I agree, they shouldn't share the same ID.

Since Powershell 7.0.1 is just called Powershell now it becomes a issue, i made a request to change the name to Powershell, or if people want 7.0.0 to be Core the ID should be Microsoft.PowershellCore

@TravisEz13 it looks like there is some discussion here about product naming.

I'm confused as to what else would it install? 7.0 is the only thing called just PowerShell

[OfficialEsco]

Right now it says "Multiple apps found matching input criteria. Please refine the input.", i bet the workaround is typing the version number, but thats abit clumsy aint it?

You get this message you try to install Powershell or Microsoft.Powershell

Edit: Nevermind dosn't work when you type the version

[TravisEz13]

I think the initial description is confusing then, the issue is that there are two versions published. Both, are PowerShell 7, one was mislabeled PowerShell core.

I found a workaround for now.

winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell -e

I'm putting in a PR to fix the name and ID of the 7.0.0 so there are less variants
