Winget Failed to extract archive with code -2147417851

Hey all,

I have a strange issue, not sure if anyone can help as it relates to Winget with SCCM.
I have this simple powershell script to install K9s for our clients:

        ## <Pre Installation>
        mkdir "$env:ProgramFiles\Kubernetes Tools\K9s"
		## <Perform Installation tasks here>
        $winGetPath = (Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Filter winget.exe -Path ($env:SystemDrive + "\Program Files\WindowsApps\") | Sort-Object LastWriteTime | Select-Object -Last 1).FullName
        & $winGetPath install --exact --id Derailed.k9s --silent --source winget --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --location "C:\Program Files\Kubernetes Tools\K9s"

		## <Perform Post-Installation tasks here>
        Copy-Item -Path "$PSScriptRoot\SupportFiles\K9s.check" -Destination "C:\Program Files\Kubernetes Tools\K9s" -Force

        # Editing file permissions
        $filePath = 'C:\Program Files\Kubernetes Tools\K9s\K9S.exe'
        # Adding read and execute rights to k9s.exe
        $rule = ':(RX)'
        icacls $filePath /grant Users$rule
        # Adding k9s to environment variables, so it can be triggered easily from cmd
        $k9sPath = 'C:\Program Files\Kubernetes Tools\K9s'
        $customVariableName = 'K9sPath'

This works as expected, when i test the script manually in SYSTEM user context.
If i run the script through SCCM and trigger it by Software Center it gets these errors:
2023-11-23 13:44:44.932 [FAIL] C:\__w\1\s\external\pkg\src\AppInstallerCommonCore\Archive.cpp(48)\WindowsPackageManager.dll!00007FFBABE51E62: (caller: 00007FFBABDCD8AC) ReturnHr(1) tid(13d8) 80010105 The server threw an exception. 2023-11-23 13:44:44.932 [CLI ] Failed to extract archive with code -2147417851 2023-11-23 13:44:44.932 [CLI ] Terminating context: 0x8a15005c at C:\__w\1\s\external\pkg\src\AppInstallerCLICore\Workflows\ArchiveFlow.cpp:42

I have no clue why this is, SCCM also uses the SYSTEM user to perform this action.
Any clue why this might be happening?

I'm encountering the exact same issue when running WinGet installations as the System user in a Packer image build, and I've been stuck on this for quite a while. Have you found a solution? If so, I'd really appreciate it if you could share how you resolved it. Thanks in advance!

We've got a fix to use tar.exe for portable installs coming from the system context. The issue is in user context, we were calling shell APIs that only exist for a logged in user.
