Describe the bug and the command you saw an issue with
The Windows MSI package software does not populate properly the cf cli tools version.
What happened
On Windows11 platform : as of version 8.17+ , the "cf" CLI application is displayed as "Cloud Foundry CLI version VERSION" for its app name in the Windows Settings/Apps/Installed apps.
When this software is inventoried by some enterprise inventory tools, it is returned like this :
<![LOG[[Win32AppInventory] Collected app inventory details: 0000...sometext...fff, Cloud Foundry CLI version VERSION, VERSION, Cloud Foundry Foundation, 65535, 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM]LOG]!><time="09:39:45.6038179" date="5-22-2026" component="Win32AppInventory" context="" type="1" thread="11" file="">
...whereas other softwares look like this :
<![LOG[[Win32AppInventory] Id: 0000.......sometext.... Name: Wireshark 4.6.3 arm64 Version: 4.6.3]LOG]!><time="09:39:45.5876532" date="5-22-2026" component="Win32AppInventory" context="" type="1" thread="11" file="">
This makes difficult to discover centrally what this "Cloud Foundry CLI version VERSION" is really running. Would it be possible to populate the app name and version attributes properly, so that when queried, it is visible as "Cloud Foundry CLI" for its name in the Apps/Installed apps pane, and correct version in its version attribute?
Expected behavior
I expect the correct version number to appear (a real number).
Exact Steps To Reproduce
Go to Windows Start menu/Apps/Installed Apps, the CF CLI displays its version as "VERSION" string.
