Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

When one installs the package with ID = Daum.PotPlayer from the winget source, the installed package shows in winget with a different name and with no source.

On a 64-bit PC, it is installed as with ID = PotPlayer64

Steps to reproduce

1. run winget search 'Daum.PotPlayer'
2. Note that there's a package with that ID
3. run winget install 'Daum.PotPlayer'
4. run winget list | Select-String 'Daum.PotPlayer'
5. notice the list is empty
6. run winget list | Select-String 'PotPlayer'
7. notice a package listed with ID = PotPlayer64 and source field is empty

Actual behavior

The winget package installs itself under a different ID with no mention of it being from winget.

Note in the below output, I'm on a Korean work PC and the installed name "팟플레이어-64비트" is Korean for "PotPlayer-64bit".

Expected behavior

The package installed through winget to install itself with the same ID as itself and to install showing the source as winget

What is happening here is that the version of PotPlayer you have on your PC doesn’t correlate to the Daum.PotPlayer package that WinGet knows about. WinGet can detect that it is installed on your PC, but since it can't find an available package that it matches to, it prints the ProductCode as the Identifier and the Source remains empty

The version of PotPlayer that I have installed was installed through WinGet.

I've uninstalled PotPlayer

$ powershell.exe -Command '$OutputEncoding = [Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.UTF8Encoding]::UTF8 ;  winget list | Select-String PotPlayer'
$

Now, I install it through winget using the name Daum.PotPlayer

$ powershell.exe -Command '$OutputEncoding = [Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.UTF8Encoding]::UTF8 ;  winget install Daum.PotPlayer'
Found PotPlayer [Daum.PotPlayer] Version 240315

And now the installed package shows up as if it weren't installed through WinGet

$ powershell.exe -Command '$OutputEncoding = [Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.UTF8Encoding]::UTF8 ;  (winget list | Select-String PotPlayer | out-string).trim()'

The version of PotPlayer that I have installed was installed through WinGet.

Then perhaps it is the korean locale which is causing the correlation to fail

In that case, it would seem that WinGet isn't tracking the fact that the same package/installer might have multiple identifiers based on various locales.
