Currently dependencies have no way to specify an exact version is required. The best would be for VMWare to update their installer to allow higher versions of the Desktop Runtime, but I understand that may not be possible

But even when I get done this specific version for successfully installation. Then the upgrade process will fail, because these new dependencies which are wrong by VMware?!

Or I am asking in another way: why are the dependencies different for the EXE installer than for the winget installer?
