InstallerUrl for local directories does not work as expected

[excelsi]

Brief description of your issue

I downloaded the VSCode Package locally to a directory with winget download, which downloaded the exe and the yaml manifest. I enabled local manifests with winget settings --enable LocalManifestFiles

Then i changed the InstallerUrl in the manifest from the HTTP URL to either a relative local Path "./Microsoft Visual Studio Code_1.88.0_User_X64_inno_en-US.exe" or a full local path "D:/TEMP/tempdown/Microsoft Visual Studio Code_1.88.0_User_X64_inno_en-US.exe"

after that i try to install the package from the local manifest with winget install --silent --manifest ".\Microsoft Visual Studio Code_1.88.0_User_X64_inno_en-US.yaml" or winget install --silent --manifest "D:\TEMP\tempdown\Microsoft\Microsoft Visual Studio Code_1.88.0_User_X64_inno_en-US.yaml"

In both cases it found the manifest correctly, but failed to install with

InternetOpenUrl() failed.
0x80072ee6 : unknown error

I also tried the InstallerUrl ".\Microsoft Visual Studio Code_1.88.0_User_X64_inno_en-US.exe" or "D:\TEMP\tempdown\Microsoft Visual Studio Code_1.88.0_User_X64_inno_en-US.exe"

Also tried file://D:/TEMP/tempdown/Microsoft Visual Studio Code_1.88.0_User_X64_inno_en-US.exe

Query download request status failed.
0x80072ef2 : unknown error

or file:///D:/TEMP/tempdown/Microsoft Visual Studio Code_1.88.0_User_X64_inno_en-US.exe

InternetOpenUrl() failed.
0x8007007b : The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

or file:./Microsoft Visual Studio Code_1.88.0_User_X64_inno_en-US.exe

InternetOpenUrl() failed.
0x80072ee6 : unknown error

enableLocalManifests means that you can use winget install --manifest <path-to-local-manifest>, not that InstallerUrl can point to a local file. I don’t believe that pointing a manifest to a locally hosted installer is currently possible

If InstallerUrl cannot point to a local file imo it would be nice if someone can convert this to a feature request. Thanks!
