WinGet not listing packages as installed #3674

Brief description of your issue

I have an internal WinGet repository where I have uploaded several of our internal applications that I push out to our internal machines. After pushing out certain installers (mainly installers from SAP), they do not show up in a WinGet export as being installed, even though they are. If I run winget list, it tells me the application is installed. I have matched all parameters of the application from what WinGet shows with the package I am pushing out, but it is still not being detected. This seems to be more of an issue with applications that do not install with a proper GUID. For example, SAP GUI installs with a GUID of "SAPGUI".

Steps to reproduce

Create a custom WinGet package of a problematic installer.
Install the application using WinGet.
Export list of installed packages.

Expected behavior

When an application is installed from WinGet, it should be listed in an export of installed packages.

Actual behavior

When an application is installed from WinGet, it is not being listed in an export of installed packages.
