Reported to WinGet as WinGet issue #1943 :

to fix this there need to be a additional registry entry in the uninstall part (REG_SZ, Name: DisplayVersion, Value: (VersionNr like 1.1.2) Missing in the file setup/WDS.nsi Function CreateUninstallEntry This might be the additional line needed:

WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinDirStat" "DisplayVersion" "${dVersionMajor}.${dVersionMinor}.${dVersionRev}"

Workaround run the flowing command: reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinDirStat /v DisplayVersion /t REG_SZ /d 1.1.2
