What is up with the NTLite installer - does not report its correct version to the OS?

[Sonicmojo]

Some backgrounder - I use Winget on a few of my machines here (both Win 10/Win 11) to perform general "updates" from time to time.

WinGet uses the Windows Settings (Apps and Features) area to determine exact version numbers:



WinGet does report on NT Lite and does tell me when a new version is available:




However - when the NT Lite installer runs - it never actually tells the OS the new version number that has been installed - and WinGet of course - keeps thinking NT Lite needs an update.

I am already running the latest NT Lite:



But of course (as displayed in the first screencap above) WinGet (and Windows itself) still thinks NT Lite is about 8 versions behind.

I do this exact same routine for other apps here like MPC-HC (Below) and it's installer always records the correct (updated) version every time I manually run their installer (which WinGet does by default during an upgrade pass in PowerShell) :



Can this be addressed?

Hi,
thank you for the report.

Reminds me of this, I do notice this time that mine is delayed as well.
Please try running the installer manually, it seems to update the version then, the issue might be only in the automatic upgrade, this should lead me to the fix.

Will report here when done.

Thanks for checking in. To be clear - I run your installer manually every time. From NT Nite - by clicking this everytime:



I have run probably a half dozen updates in the last 6 weeks or so - and at no time has your installer ever reported back it's correct versioning to the OS.

As you can see from the first screencap above - Windows thinks I am still on 2024.10.10889.0 - even after running the NT Lite installer at least 6 times since October.

This is not simply a "delay" - this is a complete miss every time the installer runs.
