winget installed does not elevate permissions

Open 1da1a172 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug The winget installer does not attempt to elevate permissions. This means the installation fails, unless run from an administrator terminal.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a terminal (WITHOUT administrator privileges)
  2. Run winget install qtpass
  3. Installation fails with an "Access is denied" error.

Expected behavior QtPass is installed

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS/Distribution: Windows 10
  • 10.0.19044

Additional context If you do not already have winget installed, get it here: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/app-installer/9NBLGGH4NNS1?hl=en-us&gl=US

I actually have no idea who manages the winget installer/entry. Apologies if this is the incorrect place to report this.
