Windows Package Manager v1.1.12653

[Demitrius Nelon (denelon)]

This release represents our Windows Package Manager 1.1 release candidate build for Windows 10 (1809+).

Experimental features have been disabled in this release. We will follow this release with another Pre-release "developer" build at GitHub so users can continue with experimental features available.

Bugs

#797 Silent install of "winget install git.git" is not working
#1497 Make rename retry more frequently for longer, then try making a hardlink

This discussion was created from the release Windows Package Manager v1.1.12653.

Can schema 1.1 be used in this version?

[Demitrius Nelon (denelon)]

Yes, but much of the client implementation work still needs to be implemented.

[Easton Pillay (jedieaston)]

Also, interestingly, searches seem to be a lot less strict than they used to be in this build (although this might be changes to the msstore source rather than client side changes):

"Victory Community Bank" seems to be a good response for "Microsoft.VisualStudio.2019.Community".

[Demitrius Nelon (denelon)]

You are correct (this is based on differences with the Microsoft Store source). The search behavior in the Microsoft Store was originally designed for a user browsing a visual gallery with product images and categories. We will continue to evaluate and refine the results over time. I am working on a blog post to explain some of the nuances of working with multiple sources.

[Demitrius Nelon (denelon)]

Some help with sources:

The default sources are "winget" for the Windows Package Manager Community app repository and "msstore" for the Microsoft Store.

Most commands interacting with sources (search, show, install) honor the --source or -s with the source specified after.
winget search "Visual Studio Code" -s msstore
winget search vscode -s winget

The store source does not have a moniker, so it's best to use the "Id" for installing packages from the store source.

PS C:\Users\denelon> winget search "visual studio"
Name                                         Id                                            Version             Source
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visual Studio Code                           XP9KHM4BK9FZ7Q                                Unknown             msstore

winget install XP9KHM4BK9FZ7Q

You may remove a source with winget source remove <source> --force, and you may reset them with winget source reset using an elevated prompt.

List and export don't have strong correlations with the store source yet, so they are not using the store source in this release.

Can someone please post settings for winget in? JSON I can copy?
I feel like after I installed these two Samsung EVO Pro 980 M.2 NVME SSDs, I messed up my. JSON schema and I want all the correct settings again if Could someone give me there's? Demitrius Nelon (@denelon), any chance you could send me your settings.JSON to austin@spragginsdesigns.com or through my web app https://www.spragginsdesigns.com, I am OSCP certified, and this is the safest way to send someone something on a website I am aware of.

Mine looks terrible and nothing like what it was:

Nothing on mine seems to work anymore, I have to go and get the installer now or use PS Gallery Package Management, yikes.

From what I can tell it looks like this build of DesktopAppInstaller has been published on the Microsoft Store and is being rolled out to general public - can you confirm Demitrius Nelon (@denelon) ?

[Easton Pillay (jedieaston)]

I'm not Demitrius Nelon (@denelon), but it is. If you update App Installer in the Microsoft Store you get this build.

[Demitrius Nelon (denelon)]

Yes, this build has been rolled out to Windows 10 (1809+).

[Austin Spraggins (spragginsdesigns)]

What is the difference between winget v1.1.12702, and DesktopAppInstaller? Not to mention App Installer, would love for someone to elaborate more on all that it takes to run the winget cli.

[Demitrius Nelon (denelon)]

The Windows Package Manager is shipped inside the App Installer. If you run winget --info it will display the versions of both.

[Masamune3210]

DesktopAppInstaller = App Installer iirc, and winget is included in App Installer

[Austin Spraggins (spragginsdesigns)]

Thank you. I used to do winget install dashlane or winget install chrome, and it would work. It's been a few months of doing winget install --id Dashlane.Dashlane or whatever I am installing because it does not work the way it used to for me.

[Abhishek Kumar (UseYourGadgets1)]

Please add download size in the "Winget show id" command.

[Easton Pillay (jedieaston)]

There's an issue for this: #1070.
