Brief description of your issue

With DolphinEmulator.Dolphin (GameCube/Wii Emulator) installed, winget upgrade lists an update for KDE.Dolphin (File Manager).

However, this update pulls from the KDE.Dolphin manifest instead of DolphinEmulator.Dolphin.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Dolphin Emulator

winget install -e --source winget --id DolphinEmulator.Dolphin

2. Check for package updates

winget upgrade

Actual behavior

winget Lists KDE.Dolphin version 24.12.2 as an applicable upgrade from DolphinEmulator.Dolphin version 5.0

PS C:\> winget upgrade
Name    Id          Version Available Source
--------------------------------------------
Dolphin KDE.Dolphin 5.0     24.12.2   winget
1 upgrades available.

Expected behavior

winget should list only upgrades from the DolphinEmulator.Dolphin manifest directory

There are updated versions of DolphinEmulator.Dolphin available (currently version 2412). However, since 5.0, these have been distributed exclusively as .7z archives, which aren't currently supported by winget. [Update Request]: Dolphin Emulator is very outdated #135643

Even if winget adds support for 7-Zip archive installation, the current builds of Dolphin rely on local .dlls in the installation directory, which winget doesn't support when creating symlinks. Handle DLLs for Symlinked executables winget-cli #2711
