@tobraha I'm trying to figure out how to assign this to you...

[tobraha]

[RCShoemaker]

I had to give you a role on the project before I could add you.

[tobraha]

You should be able to just request a review from me instead of assigning the whole PR to me.

You would normally use 'Assignees' for issues rather than pull requests.

[RCShoemaker]

Doesn't let me add you as a reviewer....

[RCShoemaker]

But I can add you as an assignee after giving you triage access.

[RCShoemaker]

I believe you'd need write access to be marked as a reviewer.

Running some tests and received the following errors. Keep in mind that I did run our old decrapifier script on my Win10 VM before you fixed it.

Fiddled with this for a while until I finally tried manually downloading the appxbundle and double-clicking it, which then led to this prompt:

That installed "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 UWP Desktop Runtime Package" from the store... and then Install-WinGet worked!

Also of note:

When running winget -v as Administrator (elevated prompt), you get:

PS C:\users\Tommy\repo\ATG-PS-Functions> winget -v
Program 'winget.exe' failed to run: The file cannot be accessed by the systemAt line:1 char:1
+ winget -v
+ ~~~~~~~~~.
At line:1 char:1
+ winget -v
+ ~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [], ApplicationFailedException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandFailed

So its invocation to see if it's already installed will fail if run as admin... Seems to be an known issue for recent releases of Windows 10 (reference: microsoft/winget-cli#637)

I'd say we can go ahead and merge this, but we'll need to keep that elevated privs issue in mind if we try to utilize this in any scripts.

@tobraha
Try it now!!!
I added the check for the needed dependencies on older versions of Windows 10. As far as installing from PWSH goes, it's a non-starter. I worked it to run in normal PowerShell if it detects it's running in PWSH.

Only issue I'm seeing now is we can't work with appxpackages from our RMM agent, since it's running as system.
May need to create a temp account if we need work from backstage.
