Multiple selections

Newspaper files

Winget newspaper files, unless they have been redirected, are in the following folder: %temp%\ aicli \*.log

License contracts

Some applications require the user to accept the license or other contracts before they can be installed. In this case, the Windows package manager invites the user to accept contracts. If the user does not agree, the application does not settle.

From the command line, you can automatically accept contracts by passing the following option –Accept-Package-Agreements On the command line. This can be useful for writing scripts related to the Windows package manager.

Winget: Microsoft’s packet manager

winget (Windows Package Manager Customer) is an online control tool that allows you to discover and install applications more easily on a Windows 10 PC as on MacOS and any Linux distribution.

A packet manager facilitates the installation, update and uninstallation of software.

Windows Package Manager has several advantages:

• All software (packages) are centralized In a single server (deposit): no need to browse the web to find the installation files of this or that software, all are in the same place ! We will finally be able to install and update several software with a single command.
• All software is devoid of spyware and malware of all kinds: all the boxes that installed unwanted software no longer exist.
• THE outbuildings are automatically installed : if software needs a program (ex. : Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 Redistributable Package) To operate, the manager will install it automatically.

In a single order, you can install software such as 7-Zip, Firefox or WhatsApp.

Despite reading the article “Winget: Microsoft’s packet manager”, You still have any questions that trot you in your head ? You always have them same problems that at the start ? You are blocked And you don’t know what to do ?

Call on the Crab community by asking your question on the forums !

Ask my question

Hello, when I try to install Winget, here is the message that appears. What to do ?

I use Chocolatey which is certainly more efficient and more complete than Winget.

That said, he is not free from reproach in particular on the update period. It is not uncommon to wait several days or much more to see an update come true. We have the feeling that certain applications are followed with less rigor ..

I make the same observation as you, but it seems to me that the packages are managed by the community and not by the company behind Chocolatey. Suddenly depending on whether the creators (s) of a package regularly follow the software updates they have compacted, there may indeed be delay.
