What You Are Seeing?

When the Azure DevOps Integration Tool for Office 2019 is installed, Chocolatey CLI is not listing it when the --include-programs option is used, even thought the software is showing in Windows "Programs and Features" and "Installed Apps".

What is Expected?

The Azure DevOps Integration Tool for Office 2019 software should show when choco list --include-programs is run. This can then be synced with a Chocolatey package using choco sync.

How Did You Get This To Happen?

1. Install Azure DevOps Integration Tool for Office 2019 on a computer using the executable (i.e. not with Chocolatey CLI). The software is available in this GitLab comment.
2. Open appwiz.cpl to see the software listed as installed within Windows Programs and Features.
3. Run choco list -i and notice the software is not listed as "not managed by Chocolatey" section.

Software installed in Programs and Features:

Not showing in the list of choco list -i:

Additional Context

• Zendesk ticket.
• GitLab issue.

It was suggested that perhaps the software installed in a user context and wouldn't show under a different user. I created a new account, bob and the software appears there so it is installed at the system level:
