The issue here is the installer doesn’t write a version to the registry. Because the installer doesn’t write a version, there is no way for WinGet to be able to determine the currently installed version. The only way to get this fixed would be for the creator of the software to update their installer so that it writes the version

Thanks. I'll make sure to inform the creator accordingly.
