Install Winget Using Powershell Updated ⚡ Complete

# Try opening Microsoft Store App Installer page Start-Process "ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=9NBLGGH4NNS1" Write-Output "Opened Microsoft Store. Please install App Installer from the Store, then re-run this script." exit 0 } catch { Write-Output "Failed to open Microsoft Store, attempting MSIX install fallback..." $msixUrl = "https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/latest/download/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle" $dest = "$env:TEMP\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller.msixbundle" Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $msixUrl -OutFile $dest -UseBasicParsing Add-AppxPackage -Path $dest Write-Output "MSIX install attempted. Verify with: winget --version" } Note: The script above attempts the Store route first, then falls back to the GitHub MSIX bundle. Adjust the release URL if necessary. Using winget via PowerShell is straightforward: prefer installing App Installer from the Microsoft Store for automatic updates; use the official MSIX bundle if the Store is unavailable. After installation, verify with winget --version and use winget search/install/upgrade to manage apps.
