Brief description of your issue

I have K-Lite Codec Pack Mega installed
Winget detects it as K-Lite codec pack full, and attempts to upgrade it with https://files2.codecguide.com/K-Lite_Codec_Pack_1901_Full.exe instead of https://files2.codecguide.com/K-Lite_Codec_Pack_1901_Mega.exe

Steps to reproduce

1. Install k-lite codec pack mega 18.9.5
2. Attempt to update it with winget.

Actual behavior

Aborting installation because the installed variant (MEGA) is larger than this variant (FULL) of the codec pack. You can force replacement of current version with command-line parameter /FORCEDOWNGRADE.

Expected behavior

Winget-pkgs has different packages for different k-lite codec pack flavors(basic,standard,full,mega).
