winget upgrade WinMerge.WinMerge cannot be done anymore at this point:

Steps to reproduce

Launch winget upgrade WinMerge.WinMerge from an elevated PowerShell prompt.

Expected behavior

WinMerge should get upgraded to version 2.16.20.0.

Or at least winget should fail without user interaction but with a clear error message.

The command-line winget experience is blocked by an interactive dialog.

Edit the title to "Cannot upgrade from WinMerge 2.16.20.0 to WinMerge 2.16.22.0"

You mention 2.16.20.0 twice in your title, which make confusion.

Oops, copy/paste glitch...

Fixed.

This looks like it's related to how the installer behaves. I'm wondering if there might be arguments that could be passed to the installer during upgrade that would suppress the dialog or at least return an error that could be mapped to one of the expected return codes.
