Issue Configuring Winget Packages to install software

[technub1]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to install Visual C++ Redists through the software install and there's an issue reading a certain file or folder when winget is being configured

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

To preface this, my OS is Windows 10 Pro Build 19041.1288, and i've more than likely turned off many things with Shut Up 10 that i'm not sure may be affecting this.

I don't know how this can be reproduced, as it's probably due to some configuration I made to my OS. But i have no idea which configuration.

1. Open the WinUtil
2. Go to the Install section, select Visual C++ 2015-2022 64-bit, and click "Install/Upgrade Selected"
3. Monitor powershell and some output comes up saying that a file cannot be accessed by the system during Winget package configuration

Expected behavior

No errors in the shell when trying to install or configure winget packages

Screenshots

Additional context

Is there any verbose mode for the shell or in the utility I can set so I can see what file is trying to be accessed or what part of what script is running?

I also have the same issue Latest W11 24h2 IoT LTSC

@technub1, I had the say issue. Go to Config tab and click on "WinGet Reinstall", this will fix WinGet, then you can use the Install tab to install whatever program you where trying to install.

@eXsoR65 I actually noticed that shortly before making this issue and tried it, but even trying the reinstall was giving me certain errors from what i remember.

I just tried the reinstall again and there were errors when installing one package due to XboxGaming Overlay still running, and another error with a different package because there was a higher version of the package already installed.

It still said the install was successful. But when i tried to install the Redists again after that, it's just the same error. I don't know if i need to try to reboot and see if that helps or not, but i don't think it will.

Here's the gist for the powershell output to reinstall winget: https://gist.github.com/technub1/dd2c856ebc28e705dbc7d0c9bf1a5c75

You want to have a look at this log, as it seems to be using Chocolaty to install those packages.

Log location: C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log

I had chocolatey ticked and forgot about it, but it looks like the same errors even with chocolatey turned off. XboxGaming Overlay running preventing a package from installing and another package that had a higher version already installed.

Here's a gist of that chocolatey log and it should show the same things: https://gist.github.com/technub1/8d7ae6a5a44583f8ce15bd39a6b487ec

winget reinstall doesnt fix it, I spent hours trying and manually forcing dependencies that it needed with no luck. I gave up.

To install Winget on W11 LTSC & W10 LTSC:

It has two dependencies which has to be installed first:

Microsoft.UI.Xaml (nuget):

• DOWNLOAD:

Invoke-WebRequest "https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/Microsoft.UI.Xaml/2.8.6" -OutFile "c:\temp\microsoft.ui.xaml.2.8.6.nupkg.zip"

• EXTRACT PACKAGE:

Expand-Archive -Path "c:\temp\microsoft.ui.xaml.2.8.6.nupkg.zip" -DestinationPath "c:\temp\out"

• INSTALL:

Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\TEMP\out\tools\AppX\x64\Release\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8.appx"

MS Visual C++ UWP Desktop Runtime Package (product-page)

In my case it was actually installed on my W11 box, but I had to install it on my W10 LTSC boxes.

• DOWNLOAD:

Invoke-WebRequest "https://aka.ms/Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx" -OutFile "c:\temp\VCLibs.appx"

• INSTALL APPX PACKAGE

Add-AppxPackage -Path "c:\temp\VCLibs.appx"  

WinGet

• Download msixbundble package

Invoke-WebRequest "https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.9.25180/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle" -OutFile "c:\temp\winget.msixbundle"

• Download license-file

Invoke-WebRequest "https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.9.25180/0a769c4da0ae4747ba4ab2f173709ced_License1.xml" -OutFile "c:\temp\winget_license.xml"

• Install msixbundle package with license-file

Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath "c:\temp\winget_.msixbundle" -LicensePath "c:\temp\winget_license.xml" -Verbose

You can get the newest download URLs from here: https://api.github.com/repos/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/latest

The issue seems to be with chocolaty it self trying to install Winget. In my case, it somehow managed to install Winget.

A possible workaround is what what stated in the above comment: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/issues/3003#issuecomment-2457312237

You can install xbox https://www.xbox.com/en-US/apps/xbox-app-on-pc This will install microsoft store After that update appinstaller from microsoft store library

[meesterexx]

What worked for me was running: wsreset -i

from a cmd prompt (Powershell Admin). The command prompt returned immediately and it looked like nothing happened, but in the background it shortly installed the MS Store and the app showed in the Start Menu. After that WinUtil could install apps.
