Here is an example of the winget -list command showing correct output for mremoteng and jdk, though putty gives the yaml error and jdk doesnt. Its the same for putty

Parsing non-English results is an ongoing issue. I'm working on another set of fixes. It is difficult for me to test Winget running under different cultures, so I may need your help at some point to run some test code for me.

Sure, i am willing to help and make this a better tool. Just tell me, when and what you need from me

I've got the same issue except with GoToAssist and in English. Please see attached.

Parsing YAML, especially under different cultures, is practically an impossible task. I'm still hoping the Winget PowerShell module will eventually make this module moot.
