Winget Version Testing Add #52

Closed JMacIV closed 6 months ago

JMacIV commented 6 months ago

Added testing for version of winget when setting the "wingetInstalled" var. Updated output to reflect that the version of winget could be outdated.

Related to #51

I like the idea of warning users of issues with WinGet. It's not really within the scope of Win11Debloat to update it.

The current warning won't work though, I made a suggestion on how to improve it 😄

Suggestion looks good. I have not tested your changes, but it looks good ha.

I figured you would not want to update it within debloat script. If you did decide to, you could always make it an optional opt-in prompt with a warning that it will either download from MS Store, or GitHub. I will prob maintain this code in my fork since I will want it to automatically install the winget upgrade for my purposes :)

I appreciate that for your purposes it's nice to have it install automatically, but I think the warning is enough. I don't really want the script to be responsible for updating stuff like this.

I suspect the next Windows image provided by MS will come with a more up-to-date WinGet version, so we won't run into this problem anymore.
