Does the same thing happen with Sublime Text 4 as well ? ST3 will probably never receive any updates so all that matters is the latest stable build of ST4

I just tested in my PC. It`s seem ST4 could be another issue in winget.
My mistake for closing this issue accidently.
I haven`t seen this kind of version issue with other SWs installed with winget (more than 150 softwares installed). Hope ST3 can fix this annoying version displaying issue. thanks!
It seems the installers are done using InnoSetup.
So the solution is simply to add this entry to the iss file:
[Setup] AppVersion=current version string
Thank you very much for considering this!
