Because its bundled with the App Installer package, which includes a UI to handle installing APPX and MSIX packages. winget doesn't need the UI framework, but since its in the package, it has the dependency as well
It looks like we need to add Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7 to https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli#manually-update
Why is this error still fixed? Installation of Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7 is NOT an easy task! How to deal with that from PowerShell? I tried everything but this is not OK - this issue is here for a couple of months!
We've built a PowerShell DSC module which includes pulling in the necessary dependencies. We're working on additional testing, and then we will provide instructions on how to use it. As it is open source, one should be able to pull the necessary bits out so it's possible to install WinGet on systems using just PowerShell as opposed to needing to also understand PowerShell DSC.
The Repair-WinGetPackageManager
cmdlet in the Microsoft.WinGet.Client PowerShell Module does much of the work to handle dependencies, but Microsoft.UI.Xaml is still not handled in the most optimal way. We're looking at some options here to see if we can improve the situation without needing to download and decompress the dependency.
We've also been looking to update the dependency to Microsoft.UI.Xaml 2.8 from 2.7 in WinGet:
Trying to manually install the msixbundle

if it is a CLI tool why requires the UI XAML ?
