Winget does not install all some updates

[mwisnicki]

Brief description of your issue

Winget currently lists Chrome update and 2 vsredist updates however when I try running winget upgrade --all it will only install 1 package (one of vsredists), report success and then show that nothing was actually upgraded

Steps to reproduce

winget upgrade --all --verbose

Google chrome uses it's own built-in updater to perform updates. Using winget to attempt an upgrade will only download and run the chrome installer, which detects chrome is already installed and exits.

The VCRedist's don't actually upgrade - they install Side-By-Side. These are being tracked through the issue below, and the Area-Matching Issue related to correlation between installed package and manifest label

Thanks for the explanation. 

As for Chrome, how come there is nothing logged in the output above?

Because the installer returns exit code 0, which is indicative of a successful install. If the installer returned a custom error code, we would be able to use that to differentiate
