The menu item could be, Run wingetcreate. Clicking this will check if wingetcreate can be run, and if it can't be run, there should be a way to offer to install it. Not sure if something like cmd /k wingetcreate with the necessary --command thing is necessary. Maybe just trying to run it without the --command would be useful to check if it's installed, then run it in CMD with the --command. If it's not installed, there will be a message box saying it's not and asking people if they want to install it, along with what command it'll use "(winget install wingetcreate)".

When checking if it can be run, I should make sure to hide the window so it doesn't have an empty window appear when the user doesn't expect it, because it may be concerning.

It's a command-line program, so I'll have to have a window open that provides a dropdown and a textbox for extra commands to be passed to wingetcreate, along with an option for the user to use a command that they specify that may be supported by wingetcreate but we don't provide.
