Can't install from winget source

Open troogyt opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

I'm trying to install this using winget.

Administrator@COMPUTER c:\
# winget search explorerpatcher
Failed in attempting to update the source: winget
Name                        Id                                 Version        Source
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ExplorerPatcher             valinet.ExplorerPatcher            22000.795.48.1 winget
ExplorerPatcher Pre-Release valinet.ExplorerPatcher.Prerelease 22622.450.50.3 winget

Administrator@COMPUTER c:\
#

It shows as available, but when I try install it fails as follows:

Administrator@COMPUTER c:\
# winget install --id valinet.ExplorerPatcher --scope machine --verbose-logs --accept-package-agreements --locale "en-US"
Failed in attempting to update the source: winget
No applicable installer found; see logs for more details.

Administrator@COMPUTER c:\
# 

I created a registry key per this post because there are certificates issues:

Administrator@COMPUTER c:\
# REG QUERY HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppInstaller

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppInstaller
    EnableBypassCertificatePinningForMicrosoftStore    REG_DWORD    0x1

This fixed the cert issue, but not the source issue.

Any ideas?

are you doing deployments with this?

no, just trying to install on my own PC

So, no AD, no GPOs, just me and my machine...which I own.

This might be the reason why if they used a pre-release: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/issues/2873

I would bring this up with winget.

For now, you could just download it from here instead: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/releases/tag/22621.2861.62.2_9b68cc0
