`install-WinGetPackage` reinstalling packages

[kdpuvvadi]

Brief description of your issue

install-WinGetPackage installing the package regardless installation status, update availability. I'm aware there that Update-WinGetPackage cmdlet is available but install cmdlet should also consider the installation status.

Steps to reproduce

I'm using npp as base here.

check application status

$ Get-Command notepad++

CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------
Application     notepad++.exe                                      8.5.4.0    C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe

Try installing with winget client

$ winget install Notepad++.Notepad++
Found an existing package already installed. Trying to upgrade the installed package...
No available upgrade found.

try same with install-WinGetPackage

This is definitely still an issue:

Another, related problem is that Install-WinGetPackage does not have a parameter for the --no-upgrade option.

Latest PowerShell module v1.7.10661, this is still an issue.

Tested this on 1.7.10861 and issue is still present

From the source it's seems just passing all the args to the winget client but trying with same args used with ps module with winget resulting in different result.

 if($Result.count -eq 1 -or $Local) {
            & "WinGet" $WinGetInstallArgs
            $Result = ""
        }
