Description of the new feature / enhancement

I want to update how WinGet Install handles installation errors when no applicable installer is available for the OS Version or Platform. Currently WinGet shows the following error message:
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: 0x803fb104: unknown error

The updated error message needs to be more applicable to the reason for the error. A possible new message could be:
The package is not applicable for the current Windows version or platform.

Note:
This new message would only be shown when attempting to install a UWP application from the Microsoft Store and no applicable installers were detected.

Proposed technical implementation details

New Error Response: “The package is not compatible with the current Windows Version or Platform.”

No response
