@EurekaChen what happens when you run winget source reset?

This is usually caused by a temporary network issue downloading the source package.

You might try changing your settings for the network downloader.

    "network": {"downloader": "wininet"}

[EurekaChen]

same after winget source reset and same after insert "network": {"downloader": "wininet"} in settings.json vist https://winget.azureedge.net/cache get:

Same problem.

And the same response from https://winget.azureedge.net/cache

Make sure you don't have any firewalls blocking the winget.azureedge.net and azureedge.net subdomain and domain. Most "privacy" tools for Windows block this by default.

Perhaps try booting up Windows Sandbox or other virtual machine software and see if it's reproducible there. If it's not reproducible, then the issue comes from your host machine and is likely caused by the above.

Also, https://winget.azureedge.net/cache - without /source.msix added to the end of the URL - is not meant to be accessible, so seeing ResourceNotFound is expected here, as long as doing ping winget.azureedge.net causes no issues and that the website is online and not offline.

If you go to https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix and install the source.msix file, does any error pop up on your screen? And what happens when you do winget search edge if it's installed?

If you go to https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix and install the source.msix file, does any error pop up on your screen? And what happens when you do winget search edge if it's installed?

Okay... I'm an install source.msix without a problem on my computer and then run winget search edge. Works perfectly! Thanks!

But I'm a little confused. I'm taken a msixbundle from here https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/tag/v1.0.11692 and installed it. For what need source.msix? And why package don't work without separate install source.msix?

[EurekaChen]

ping winget.azureedge succesuful. visit https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix and I get download "source.zip" I rename source.zip to source.msix and install it. now run winget search edge ,it work! But with warning： "尝试更新源时失败：winget“

[ItzLevvie]

visit https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix and I get download "source.zip" I rename source.zip to source.msix and install it.

This might be why it wasn't able to install it since the file format is meant to be in .msix rather than in .zip.

For what need source.msix? And why package don't work without separate install source.msix?

This is because the .msixbundle only includes the Windows Package Manager and the source.msix file is not included in that.

By default, the Windows Package Manager has a source set up to the winget-pkgs repository where if you run winget source update or winget search Microsoft.Edge on your PC it's actually meant to automatically download the source.msix file from https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix and install it but for some reason it's failing and therefore you're getting an error saying that the data is missing.

source.msix is where all of the manifest data from the winget-pkgs repository are stored so that commands like winget search and winget upgrade will work. Without it, you won't be able to download anything as it can't find the manifest database to to download the application you want.

So the workaround to this issue is to keep on manually installing it from https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix until perhaps an engineer takes a look at this?

[EurekaChen]

What‘s the problem here: When I visit the same url "https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix" ， in some computer it get "source.zip" and in other computer it will be "source.msix", so winget fail when get "source.zip".

and run winget install inkscape get

[clovett]

See if the solution I posted here works for you: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/998

[NPittinger]

Experiencing this issue now. Found the root cause to be that https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix is returning a 404 error. A 404 error should be communicated to the user in a more direct way than a generic "data is missing" message.

Edit - additional info:

Windows Package Manager v1.1.13405
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.22000.348
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.16.13405.0

Edit 2 - https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix is no longer returning a 404 error, and winget functionality is restored on my system. Probably a temporary issue server-side. Should still be better communicated to the end user.

[askender]

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/1656 I solved it by:

1. change permission of C:\Windows\Temp C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp\WinGet
2. run *.Winget.msix (in C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp\WinGet ) by click it.

Then, I can use winget install -e --id vim.vim You can find more apps here: https://winget.run/ This issue is a big problem.

open Internet options, switch to advance tab, enable "tls 1.2"

[leedapeng]

谢谢各位的帖子，让我从一个小白不断摸索成长，你们坚持的精神感染了我，本来我打算从做系统的，可是我没放弃，你们每个人的建议我都尝试过，可是总失效，最后，一条奇葩的命令改变了这种现状：winget uninstall winget
winget uninstall winget winget uninstall winget 重要的命令说三遍！！

Guys they fixed it! 😊😊😊

[Inf-Sub]

thanks, everything is working now but when I pressed cancel when demanding admin rights, I got an error, the text of which is not readable.

[manu08manu]

Guys they fixed it! 😊😊😊

Have they? I am still having this issue in UK

[leedapeng]

Guys they fixed it! 😊😊😊

Have they? I am still having this issue in UK you can try winget uninstall winget, maybe it work!~

[Masamune3210]

Caching will likely be a bit weird until things fully settle down and proliferate

[A9G-Data-Droid]

It is not fixed in the US either.

[denelon]

@A9G-Data-Droid can you run winget source reset --force --verbose-logs from an administrator prompt and share the logs? This will remove the "winget" and "msstore" sources and add them back so the PreIndexed package ("winget" source) can be "reset" back to a good state.

[A9G-Data-Droid]

Sure, @denelon. How would you like me to share the logs with you?

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> winget source reset --force --verbose-logs

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> winget update --all
The `msstore` source requires that you view the following agreements before using.

[denelon]

If you can find the latest one, you can add it to the GitHub issue by drag & drop, or if you are concerned about sharing the file you can https://aka.ms/winget-feedback/ and share the link to the feedback report.

[A9G-Data-Droid]

Thanks @denelon, I have a full feedback ticket for you here: https://aka.ms/AAipess

It contains a zip file with 3 log files relative to the commands I ran above.

[jeff922]

I see this issue on Windows 11 specifically when running winget from an Administrator command prompt. If the command prompt is not run as Administrator, the issue does not occur for me.

My specific error when running as Admin: Failed when searching source: winget An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: 0x8a15000f : Data required by the source is missing

[quantenemitter]

In my case, I could resolve the issue as follows:

1. Log-in with local administrator
2. powershell -> winget source update

[vani-lu]

Update: I accidentally fixed it. I set my vpn on, log into non-admin powershell session, and run winget source update, it successfully update the winget source. winget search also works.

It's not fixed in China. The mstore source works, but the winget source cannot be updated even after successful reset.

I am using Windows 程序包管理器(预览) v1.4.3132-preview. If I update the sources, the winget source update get cancelled.

 winget source update --verbose-logs

If I search for edge, it only got results from mstore:

Downloading the source.msix from https://winget.azureedge.net/cache/source.msix does not work either. The file seems to be empty (0 byte) and I cannot open it.

Attempted the winget source update from Powershell as Admin, but I still get the error on my system:

For clarification In my case, just running PowerShell with a "normal" user, but selecting "as Administrator" did not help. I literally meant: Start the windows-session as local Administrator. My last log-in as local admin was quite a while ago. So while logging in, I got greeted with the typical "Please wait. We're running updates for you." After that, I ran PowerShell (within the admin-session) and the problem disappeared.

Since then, I'm able to do a "winget source update" as a normal user. I'm living in Germany.

I'm not an expert. But I thought this might help.
