New manifest - uninstall fails to find installed package

[kriswilk]

I'm hoping someone can point out what I'm missing here. I've created a simple (?) manifest that will install correctly, but refuses to uninstall. I get the message:

PS C:\Users\kris\manifests\p\PelikanSoftware\priPrinter> winget uninstall --manifest .\6.9.0.2541\
Found priPrinter [PelikanSoftware.priPrinter]
No installed package found matching input criteria.

For reference, the application appears in ARP like this...

...and the contents of the manifest files are:

PelikanSoftware.priPrinter.installer.yaml

The PackageName and PackageVersion should match up, but WinGet disagrees. What could be the problem?

Using your manifest, I get the following output from my test script-

--> Installing WinGet
--> Disabling safety warning when running installer
Tip: you can type 'Update-EnvironmentVariables' to update your environment variables, such as after installing a new software.

priPrinter  6.9.0.2541     Pelikan Software KFT priPrinter

A few things stand out to me -

1. The publisher in the manifest should probably be Pelikan Software KFT - This won't solve the issue, but does help correlation
2. This is a new package, so there isn't any existing correlation information in the repo - This is likely related to the issue, but probably doesn't have a ton of effect
3. If you add the ProductCode to the installer manifest, the uninstall works just fine

It seems that local manifest uninstall doesn't use the same correlation as the normal uninstall flow, and I'm not sure why it isn't finding the package, but adding the product code should fix it
