[Bug]: When deploying trough Intune MSI its not detected with MSI code mostly

[tylichmartin]

The problem

We are installing on all our computers winget autoupdate by the MSI but for more than half devices we have it with status failed. Wea re deploying also on fresh computers with Autopilot. I would like to ask you how your MSI is working its checking online the version and if its new version for example I downloaded and deploying MSI which I downloaded when version 2.0.0 was latest but today is 2.1.0 so it will automatically install the new one?

do you change MSI codes each new version?

What version of WAU has the issue?

not sure 2.0.0/2.1.0

What version of Windows are you using (ex. Windows 11 22H2)?

mix of versions

What version of winget are you using?

N/A

What GUID are you using to detect WAU? As it auto updates (which changes the GUID), I would not recommend using the GUID as detection rule.
This is the GUID of V2.1.0: {0C581545-049B-40B8-A10C-318A9361AB74}
Try using file detection instead:
C:\Program Files\Winget-AutoUpdate\ServiceUI.exe

If you need to check the version, use registry:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\545185C0B9408B041AC013A83916BA47
-> Version

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\545185C0B9408B041AC013A83916BA47

That key is also changed when a MSI updates (based on the Product GUID)

That is right only the UpgradeCode is static.

Winget-AutoUpdate/Sources/Wix/build.wxs

Line 4 in e31afa8

<Package Language="1033" Name="Winget-AutoUpdate" Version="$(var.Version)" Manufacturer="Romanitho" UpgradeCode="BDDEA607-F4AF-4229-8610-16E3B6455FDC" InstallerVersion="200">

If you want to keep using the registry, then the path you must look for is in a different castle ;)
Upgrade codes are transcoded during installation and stored in HKCR
The place you are looking for is there:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\UpgradeCodes\706AEDDBFA4F92246801613E6B54F5CD

Good luck guys.
