            Bug ID: 48597
           Summary: wine uninstaller does not update list of installed
                    apps after using the "Install" button
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.1
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs

For clarification see attachement

The wine uninstaller offers to uninstall and install Windows apps. An
uninstallation can be initiated by the button "Change/Remove" (in German
"Ändern/Entfernen"). The list of installed apps is immediately updated and the
removed app does not show up in the list any longer.

But when installing an app through the button "Install.." (in German
"Installieren")- see attachment - the Windows app successfully installs but the
list is not updated immediately and the newly installed app does not show up.
Only after closing the uninstaller program and re-launching the uninstaller
program again, the new app shows up in the list of the installed apps. This is
inconsistent compared to removing an app and confusing. 

In particular a native user who is not an expert may be very confused because
he/she does not immediately sees his/her newly installed app. He may try again
which may create real issues.
