Winget unable to install firefox when version number is specified
Brief description of your issue
Winget search currently shows the Mozilla.Firefox package at version 131
❯ winget.exe search mozilla.firefox
Name Id Version Source
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mozilla Firefox Mozilla.Firefox 131 winget
When attempting to install with that version number, I get an error:
❯ winget.exe install --id "Mozilla.Firefox" --exact --source winget --accept-source-agreements --version "131" --silent --disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements
No version found matching: 131
However, if the version number is left off, I see:
❯ winget.exe install --id "Mozilla.Firefox" --exact --source winget --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements
Found Mozilla Firefox [Mozilla.Firefox] Version 131.0

And if I attempt to then install specifying "131.0" as the version number, it does work:
❯ winget.exe install --id "Mozilla.Firefox" --exact --source winget --accept-source-agreements --version "131.0" --accept-package-agreements

Steps to reproduce
winget.exe search Mozilla.Firefox winget.exe install --id "Mozilla.Firefox" --version "131" winget.exe install --id "Mozilla.Firefox" --version "131.0"
Expected behavior
I expect Winget to be able to install Mozilla Firefox when specifying the version number that is shown in winget search
Actual behavior
Winget is not able to install Mozilla Firefox if the version number shown with winget search is specified, however, a more precise version number works

It looks like the version is "131.0". There is no exact version "131" from my search results.
You can add "--versions" to see available versions.
I do see that the trailing 0 isn't rendered so that's the bug in my mind.
Would you agree with that?
Yes, that is the bug. I note that whatever pipe UniGetUI is using also sees 131 rather than 131.0

@denelon - I recall a separate issue specific to the V2 index dropping trailing zero's if the version only had two parts, let me find that, as it's the root cause of this and the other bug
