Brief summary

When installing an add-on whose minimumNVDAVersion is higher than the current NVDA version, if there is already a disabled add-on installed (where lastTestedNVDAVersion < current NVDA version), NVDA shows the "View incompatible add-ons" dialog for the existing add-on instead of directly prompting about the new add-on's incompatibility.

Steps to reproduce

1. Current NVDA version: 2025.3.1.
2. Install and disable the following add-on:
   • v2rayN-0.7
   • lastTestedNVDAVersion: 2024.1 (Lower than current NVDA).
3. Attempt to install the following add-on:
   • SentenceNav-2.14.2
   • minimumNVDAVersion: 2026.1 (Higher than current NVDA).

All of the above add-ons need to be downloaded manually and installed by opening them in Windows Explorer, because these versions are not available in the Add-ons Store.

Actual behavior

An unexpected dialog titled "View incompatible add-ons" appears first (showing the disabled v2rayN add-on). Only after closing this dialog does NVDA show the incompatibility warning for the SentenceNav add-on being installed.

Expected behavior

NVDA should immediately show the incompatibility warning/installation prompt for the SentenceNav add-on currently being installed.
