@Dragon1573 Thanks for reviewing

inno original installation does not add bin path to windows env path, so after installation flex does not work, as same as bison and other GnuWin32 packages in winget

@Dragon1573 if you have any idea to change easily installation process, and add bin in path, I welcome to learn it :)

Nope. For any other install technology than ZIP archives, winget.exe will only pass pre-defined switches to the install wizard. Registry modifications, envrionment variables modification and shortcuts creation will only been done by the install wizard itself.

If they peovides pre-built binary archives, you might able to try it with adding ArchiveBinariesDependOnPath: true.

PATH problem is related to https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/549 and I think we need to wait to add that features to winget

@Dragon1573 so any blockers exist for preventing merge this PR?

What is meaning of Validation-Uapproved-URL?

[stephengillie]

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/labels/Validation-Unapproved-URL indicates that the file is hosted on a domain that allows user uploads, so a human (such as myself) must verify that the package comes from the actual developer, and isn't a rehosted package.
