Would it also be a good idea to detect and inform the user what the other "installer technology" is, even if only possible part of the time?

I'm open to that. I don't know users necessarily understand, but if we're linking to documentation with guidance they could certainly learn. WinGet does know the installer type for the currently installed version in almost every case, and it does know the new type based on the manifest for the newer version, otherwise the error message wouldn't be possible.

I think it would go a long way. I don't have a problem with having to uninstall. I just have a problem with not knowing what the next step is. If I knew how something was installed, I'd have a better idea of what to do next
