[cobalt2727]

Please confirm these before moving forward

• I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
• I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

Category of the issue

Multiple installed packages found.

Brief description of your issue

Winget seems to view the Teams Machine-Wide Installer as an instance of Teams itself. Could possibly explain #61420

Steps to reproduce

winget upgrade

always update error.

[cobalt2727]

I'm encountering this as well

[NJT145]

on me, this happens when I use --scope=machine option.
For example: I use winget install -e -i --id=Microsoft.Teams --source=winget --scope=machine to install it. However, this installs installer to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Teams Installer" but not the app. This is the problem. The machine install manifest should be removed...

[stevehipwell]

Is this really that hard to fix?

[C8H17OH]

Even worse now, since there are Microsoft Teams classic, the new Teams (aka Teams 2.0) and "Teams Machine-Wide Installer." Lucky that the personal version of Teams does not join in such confusion.

I work for Microsoft as a Cloud Solution Architect: my use case are some older Windows 10 personal home machines which both show this message. I was noticing that the winget downloads code (presumably the update) but that the update does not install. Hopefully there will be a resolution, perhaps to not signal that an update should be applied.
