winget upgrade on cloud sdk is broken (windows)

[remidebette]

Hi,

I am not sure where to ask the question, but I think the google cloud sdk installer for windows needs to be repaired.

As stated for example here, the installer should declare its version to the windows Control panel carefully:
winget upgrade for nvm is broken · Issue #876 · coreybutler/nvm-windows (github.com)

I am using winget, which is becoming the de facto tool for managing packages in Windows.

My issue is that to this date I cannot seamlessly use the upgrade function of winget due to google cloud SDK not been upgraded by the tool:

❯ winget upgrade --include-unknown
Name                            Id                           Version       Available     Source
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Google Cloud SDK                Google.CloudSDK              Unknown       392.0.0       winget


❯ winget upgrade --id Google.CloudSDK
This package's version number cannot be determined. To upgrade it anyway, add the argument --include-unknown to your previous command.

Apparently, all that is needed is to add a DisplayVersion key in the registry when installing.

Please check the github ticket for more details
