Does Winget-Autoupdate-aaS Install Winget itself? #76
-
|
As written in the title - does the Winget-AutoUpdate-aaS installer check for & install winget if it doesn't exist on the device? as of now, testing and preparing to use this i've used another script to check for & install winget ... but if your installer is already handling it I'll remove it so I don't have redundant scripts involved. thank you! |

From what I understood WAUI does not install winget if missing. How are you deploying the script? Intune? Why not deploying "App Installer" via new Microsoft store instead, along with WAUI? That will make sure winget is installed and will take care of the updates basically hassle-free |

winget (App Installer) should be included on any normal edition of Windows Home / Pro / Enterprise by default, but oh boy let me tell you it was a struggle to get it installed on a 11 Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC machine that doesn't come with the Microsoft Store. |

Winget began to be installed by default starting from Win11 23h2, iirc. I managed to make winget work also with Windows server 2019 thanks to Uniget UI, which at some point was installing its own copy of winget (it stopped for some time after the rebrand winget UI -> Uniget UI, then I think they returned giving the possibility to install winget with the app itself). That might be an idea worth exploring. |
