Winget Issue with --exact not matching exact packages

Open MrHinsh opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I have an issue where if I use --exact there are no packages returned, even though the string exactly matches the package. This means that GetInstalledPackages is not working as intended.

I changed my code to be without exact and filtered manually.

Thank you for the information, we probably need to wait for this problem to be fixed in WinGet but I will take a look at it too.

I have added an alternative exact method for getting installed packages, without using WinGet’s exact functionality as a workaround for this issue.
