A few years ago I asked for some help figuring out what to whitelist so that winget can update its sources and install packages.
This is how I found out.
The queste started with [Wayback/Archive] Need help trying to figure out what domains/IPs to whitelist for installing packages · Discussion #2304 · microsoft/winget-cli

Related to WhatsApp Desktop for Mac or PC cannot only chat but also voice and video call: installing WhatsApp from the command-line.
That was easy to do via winget:
c:\temp>winget install -e --id WhatsApp.WhatsApp Found WhatsApp [WhatsApp.WhatsApp] Version 2.2222.12 This application is licensed to you by its owner. Microsoft is not responsible for, nor does it grant any licenses to, third-party packages. Downloading https://web.whatsapp.com/desktop/windows/release/x64/WhatsAppSetup.exe ██████████████████████████████ 145 MB / 145 MB Successfully verified installer hash Starting package install... Successfully installed
This was a while ago, so the version number by now is dated, but it is about the command winget install -e --id WhatsApp.WhatsApp

Need to figure out what is the cause here for [Wayback/Archive] Troubleshooting Errors… | FileWave KB
General Errors
Hex Decimal Symbol Description … 0x8A15003B-1978335173APPINSTALLER_CLI_ERROR_RESTAPI_INTERNAL_ERRORRest API internal error …
I got the error following the install steps at [Wayback/Archive] Download and install Google Chrome with winget
winget install -e --id Google.Chrome
Usually I don’t install through winget because it is often slow and during upgrades often fails to be silent (causing all kinds of popup Windows to appear), but Chocolatey had a history of hashing problems when installing [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | Google Chrome 130.0.6723.92.
This package always installs the latest version of Google Chrome, regardless of the version specified in the package. Google does not officially offer older versions of Chrome for download. Because of this you may get checksum mismatch between the time Google releases a new installer, and the package is automatically updated.
Yup the page contains the above warning, but often this happens a week at a time: not something I want to spend on installing a web-browser.

I prefer installing applications through the CLI (command-line interface). This way, things can be scripted and installation parameters be stored under version control.
A few months back I published Different ways for installing Windows features on the command line – Peter Hahndorf which wrote way earlier and amended with a few highlights I learned from unsuccessfully trying to Microsoft To Do. Of course that is possible from the GUI by following these links:
But I don’t want GUI, I want CLI as that is way easier to automate than GUI. I knew this should theoretically be possible from my the above winget post.
Putting this to practice however at first failed. Later I found a GUI-based workaround. So this was not possible purely on the CLI.
This post is both a summary of the most important bits and a reminder for myself to check if installing Microsoft Store via [Wayback/Archive] Winget without a Microsoft Store account is still impossible (as when downloading via the GUI from the Microsoft Store site an account is not needed).
wingetFirst however on how I ended up at winget for anyway were these posts:

In the continuing series of Chocolatey/Scoop/winget related posts, this one is about Windows Terminal.
There are basically two ultimate sources you can install it from:
winget install --id 9N0DX20HK701 --source msstore --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements --silentwinget install --id=Microsoft.WindowsTerminal -echoco upgrade microsoft-windows-terminalYou can configure the Microsoft Store to automatically install updates as per [Wayback/Archive] Turn on automatic app updates (on my system this was the default):
Microsoft Store – Auto-Updates is turned on by default
As a backgrounder, here some articles on Windows Terminal, ConPTY and the Windows Console from the [Wayback/Archive] DevBlogs – Microsoft Developer Blogs:

After using Chocolatey for a long time and writing about it, I have written a few articles on other Windows package managers like winget and Scoop.
Part of the reason was that I wanted to install new systems in a semi-automatic way including WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux 2).
As I have spent quite some time getting treated against metastasised rectum cancer, I missed part of the evolvement of WSL into WSL2 and of the winget evolvement.
The good news is that this simplified the scripted installation of WSL2 a lot, as over time, this got very easy, as confirmed in these posts/messages I found via [Wayback/Archive] winget wsl2 – Google Search:
wsl --installis now available in Windows 10 2004 and above. I think that’s a better solution rather than winget having a special case for it.
to install WSL 2 on Windows 10 OS Build 2004 or later you need to open the command prompt app with Administrator permissions, and enter the following command:wsl.exe --installAs soon as you hit enter, the process automatically gets to work. It enables the WSL optional features required, fetches the latest WSL Linux kernel version, and installs Ubuntu as your default distro
I even found back this was announced when I was still in hospital: during the Build 2020 conference. A summary is at [Wayback/Archive] The Windows Subsystem for Linux BUILD 2020 Summary – Windows Command Line describing the introduction of wsl.exe --install and that it defaults to install WSL 2 as back-then already most Windows Insider build users using WSL had switched from WSL 1 to WSL 2.
Yesterday, in Windows “equivalents” for bash backticks in cmd and PowerShell, I showed how to get the wsl.exe information:
C:\temp>PowerShell -Command "SigCheck "$((Get-Command -CommandType Application wsl).Path)"" Sigcheck v2.82 - File version and signature viewer Copyright (C) 2004-2021 Mark Russinovich Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com c:\windows\system32\wsl.exe: Verified: Signed Signing date: 09:24 15/10/2021 Publisher: Microsoft Windows Company: Microsoft Corporation Description: Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux Launcher Product: Microsoft« Windows« Operating System Prod version: 10.0.19041.1320 File version: 10.0.19041.1320 (WinBuild.160101.0800) MachineType: 64-bit
This was on one of my Windows 10 systems with version 21H2.
The installation progress was as follows and took ome 3 minutes on a 50 Mibit/s fiber connection:
C:\temp>wsl.exe --install Installing: Virtual Machine Platform Virtual Machine Platform has been installed. Installing: Windows Subsystem for Linux Windows Subsystem for Linux has been installed. Downloading: WSL Kernel Installing: WSL Kernel WSL Kernel has been installed. Downloading: Ubuntu The requested operation is successful. Changes will not be effective until the system is rebooted.
Time to play around (:

Last month, I wrote Need to take a look a Scoop (as a long time Chocolatey user).
So I did, and started with a list of my Chocolatey installs grouped by functionality in order to expand the table towards winget and [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – ScoopInstaller/Scoop: A command-line installer for Windows.
This was a good way to start learning, and by already doing this, got learned this:
Let’s focus on the latter for a bit:
scoop-bucket, see [Wayback/Archive] scoop-docs/Buckets.md at master · kidonng/scoop-docsIf you want your bucket listed in the Scoop Directory , add a topic of
scoop-bucketto its github page.
The indexing is done by the project [Wayback/Archive] ScoopSearch/ScoopSearch.AzureFunctions: Azure functions to maintain Scoop applications index.
ScoopDirectory indexes once a day, updating both the static Markdown pages and a [Wayback/Archive] scoop-directory/scoop_directory.db at master · rasa/scoop-directory database used for searching.
.The refreshing is done by [Wayback/Archive] scoop-directory/update-index.yml at master · rasa/scoop-directory calling [Wayback/Archive] scoop-directory/github-crawler.py at master · rasa/scoop-directory.
From the above, I got a feeling that Scoop is way more like the Linux Package Managers than WinGet and Chocolatey are.

Triggered by last week’s post Need to take a look a Scoop (as a long time Chocolatey user), I need to re-think which Windows package managers to use and in what order.
Basically there are two challenges:
Since I hardly used winget, I need to get started at Windows Package Manager – Wikipedia.
A good example of unavailability is at [Wayback/Archive] Scott’s Ultimate Tools via Winget – DVLUP (which has the ID values for winget or chocolatey of [Wayback/Archive] Scott Hanselman’s 2021 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows – Scott Hanselman’s Blog)
