Neovim is installed twice instead upgraded

[jfernandz]

Brief description of your issue

I've run winget upgrade --all and it has installed the new version of Neovim (0.10.0) in parallel to the older one (0.9.5). Now I cannot uninstall any version even using the -v argument for winget uninstall.

Also ... not sure why despite my system language is english ... winget still prints its outputs in spanish 🤔

Steps to reproduce

Just running winget upgrade --all

Expected behavior

normal upgrade

Actual behavior

Neovim 0.10.0 has been installed but not upgraded 0.9.5 version, now I cannot remove any one.

To separate this Issue:

• The language switching should stay in this repo.
• The Neovim.Neovim issue should be moved to the winget-pkgs repo. 10.0 might need a different UpgradeBehavior.

I'm not sure of the best way to do this. Another Issue might be needed.

I've run winget upgrade --all and it has installed the new version of Neovim (0.10.0) in parallel to the older one (0.9.5). Now I cannot uninstall any version even using the -v argument for winget uninstall.

@jfernandz Can you try out the 1.9-preview version of WinGet and enable the side-by-side experimental feature? The preview version has better support for side-by-side installations (The changes should be available in WinGet 1.8 stable soon). You would be able to do winget uninstall --id Neovim.Neovim --version 0.9.5 to unblock this scenario.

Otherwise, you'll have to manually uninstall the old version from appwiz.cpl / Apps&Features

[jfernandz]

well, the manual method (appwiz.cpl) was able to uninstall Neovim 0.9.5.

winget uninstall --id Neovim.Neovim --version 0.9.5 didn't work, but I've not tried the 1.9-preview version of WinGet 😢

maybe I should install it to check it the language issue persists; as Neovim issue is more appropriate for winget-pkgs

[jfernandz]

1.9-preview version doesn't solve the language issue, btw 😞
