Foxit reader seems to fail but that doesn't really bother me
Hi,
Can you have a look on you installed program ? you should have 2 versions of the same apps. WAU detects that Winget reports an available update and try to update apps, and of course WAU detects that the update succeed
So I need to remove the duplicates manually?
or should I just keep collecting these?
Seems odd that the old version is left when all other apps only has 1 version installed.
I've gone through and uninstalled the duplicates
i agree, odd to have multiple version, but this is either Winget issue or problem with the application itself. WAU doesn't handle replacement or previous uninstall. Just using winget to upgrade apps.
You could also use the mod-function.
In this case create a Microsoft.VCRedist.2012.x86-preinstall.ps1 (copy _AppID-template.ps1) under mods and therein add the name of the version that should be uninstalled in $AppUninst = @("Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x86) - 11.0*") - uninstalling all v11 versions of x86.

I tested with Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x86) - 11.0.50727 installed and it uninstalled before installing the latest correctly.
I often find that the different VCRedist leave an registry entry under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
And, that even if the manifests say: UpgradeBehavior: uninstallPrevious
In those cases you have to delete the reg entry manually.
Hence, my exclusion list in excluded_apps.txt:
