NVCleanstall does not install
Describe the bug NVCleanstall does not appear to be installable through winget or chocolatey
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- run the windows utility
- try to install NVCleanstall
- use utility to "get installed"
- NVCleanstall does not show despite successful install message
Expected behavior I expected NVCleanstall to be installed
It seems that NVCleanstall is currently not included in the winget repository. It got removed in the following PR because the URL returned a 404 when accessed via the browser. https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/147172
As described in this comment this I a quirk of Techpowerup which takes advantage of certain user agents to allow the download anyway. https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/146328#issuecomment-2018503748
At the moment, there is an open PR that reverts the removal of NVCleanstall from the repository. As soon as this is merged, the installation should work again.
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/153878
NVCleanstall is again available via Winget. Imo this Issue can be closed :)
Issue is fixed
