Brief description of your issue

I am checking the options and how to use the Winget commands to upgrade applications and when trying to use the upgrade command for Windows ADK, that is the one Winget is showing me available, I am getting the error. I searched for that error here but I am not seeing it, so not sure if this is a known issue or something new

@denelon have you notified someone at Microsoft about this or do you have a client fix in mind for this?

For anyone encountering this issue leave a thumps up on the original post.

[mil1i]

I created a PR with the changes OP suggested: #69265

Tested installing the manifests locally. Worked immediately for WindowsADK on my end, but I did not have it installed beforehand. So I installed the older verison first, then ran winget upgrade -m <path_to_new_version>. It was successful in uninstalling first, then reinstalling with the new version.

With WindowsSDK I had to end up going into Control Panel > Programs and Features and manually uninstalling the previous versions before winget install and winget upgrade would work.

[valerii15298]

Same problem for me...

[denelon]

I'm reaching out to see if I can find the team who owns WindowsADK to understand what "error 2008" means so we can potentially map to an expected return code or look at what the behavior should be.

[mgradwohl]

I had this problem today.

I made sure all my Windows SDKs were uninstalled from Settings->Apps and from within the VS installer.

And would get the following if I downloaded the SDK and ran the installer

Which was weird because Windows SDK 10.0.22621.755 didn't show up in VS, winget or Settings -> Apps

1. search the registry for 10.0.22621.755
2. find "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache{bbdcfd1a-000e-4b9d-af4f-07049d1e9a47}\winsdksetup.exe" /modify
3. run an admin prompt and go to that folder
4. run winsdksetup.exe /modify to remove
5. winget install Microsoft.WindowsSDK -s winget
6. Install is successfull
7. Launch VS and open my solution
8. Get an error in the VS UI that UWP stuff is missing - but it prompts to download
9. Download and install (close VS, let visual studio installer do the thing)
10. 13. Launch VS and open my solution - it builds and runs

This issue seems to still be occurring in Winget ... & VS - they're not recognizing the newer release (well, actually, winget is not recognizing a lot of different packages that are actually up to date) ... but, at the same time, ...both will recognize the newer release...(?) Winget wants you to uninstall Microsoft.WindowsSDK 10.0.22621.755, yet Winget shows 10.0.22621.2 as the most up to date & available release, & whatever you do, it spits out the error '2008' ... Strangely enough, VS wants you to uninstall 10.0.22621.755 too...? Okay....

winget uninstall Microsoft.WindowsSDK --version 10.0.22621.755

It will uninstall successfully. Then click & download from the MS dev page link (OR! The ~direct installer link winget will also provide you) to install Microsoft.WindowsSDK once again, &, if you have a keen eye, then you will notice you are installing the same v10.0.22621.755 that was just uninstalled! ... The one benefit is that it won't appear in the list generated by winget upgrade --include-unknown from then on.

[BrandonWanHuanSheng]

This ADKSetup and SDKsetup is a pretty big trouble because it can’t upgrade until you uninstall previous version. Exclude for WDKSetup

[ryfu-msft]

This issue has been resolved now that uninstallPrevious has been added to the package manifest: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/86259

I also verified on a clean machine that installing an older version and upgrading now succeeds and no longer returns a 2008 exit code.
