Brief description of your issue

Latest VCRedist 2010 x64 in winget-pkgs is 10.0.40219.

• https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/VCRedist/2010/x64
• (This is actually 10.0.40219.**325**)

Problem is that there have been several releases 10.0.40219.x, but Winget does not seem to detect the 4th version number position. Newest right now: 10.0.40219.473.

Adding a newer version to winget-pkgs probably would likely not offer users with previous versions installed an upgrade.

This behavior from Winget is probably expected, because the uninstall info written by the installer to the registry does not include the full version number (DisplayVersion).

A workaround to get full version info is:

Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\VC\VCRedist\x64' -Name 'Version'

Anyways, is there anything winget-cli can do, or should do, to be able to catch edge cases like this? Add ability for custom detection methods maybe?

Steps to reproduce

Install: winget install --id Microsoft.VCRedist.2010.x64 --silent
List: winget list Microsoft.VCRedist.2010.x64

Expected behavior

Full version number is displayed.

Actual behavior

4th digit/position of the version number is missing, thus can't validate whether newer versions are available.
