@piotrminkina

Can you try winget source reset --force and let me know if that resolves the error?

piotrminkina commented 10 months ago

Hello @denelon, no improvement.

The `msstore` source requires that you view the following agreements before using.
Terms of Transaction: https://aka.ms/microsoft-store-terms-of-transaction
The source requires the current machine's 2-letter geographic region to be sent to the backend service to function properly (ex. "US").

Don't let the sudo deceive you ;) I run the command in Windows Terminal, in Powershell (as in the notification). The sudo command provides me with the gerardog.gsudo package.

I was stumped when I wrote the above paragraph and decided to check this command with Administrator privileges.

> sudo winget list --scope machine
Name                                     Id                                                   Version           Available      Source

It seems that the problem occurs on the rights of a regular user.

Trenly commented 10 months ago

@piotrminkina - do you have separate accounts that you're using for the Administrator privileges and the User privileges? I've seen in some cases that winget doesn't perform as expected across multiple user accounts

piotrminkina commented 10 months ago

@Trenly I wrote the Issue on the default account, created during the installation of the system, which is in the Administrators group. I also have an additional account created (with a User Profile created), which is in the Users group, but I don't use that account yet.

denelon commented 10 months ago

@piotrminkina can you try uninstalling the source and then running a search in the user context?

winget uninstall Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe should remove the source.

piotrminkina commented 9 months ago

@denelon Still no improvement.

Getting 0x80070005 : unknown error on winget uninstall when --scope machine is specified despite being local admin. Microsoft store working OK.

PS C:\Users\admin> Get-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators"

ObjectClass Name                          PrincipalSource
----------- ----                          ---------------

User        DESKTOP-GRLIE89\Administrator Local

PS C:\Users\admin> winget -v
v1.6.3482

Installation goes ok

PS C:\Users\admin> winget install --exact --id Giorgiotani.Peazip --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --scope machine
 --version 9.5.0
Found PeaZip [Giorgiotani.Peazip] Version 9.5.0

Reduce it to minimal case

Failed to open the predefined source; please report to winget maintainers.
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
0x80070005 : unknown error

This works OK, when not specifying --scope machine

PS C:\Users\admin> winget uninstall --exact --id Giorgiotani.Peazip --silent --accept-source-agreements --version 9.5.0
Found PeaZip [Giorgiotani.Peazip]

Also amusingly

PS C:\Users\admin> winget source reset --force
This command requires administrator privileges to execute.

gotounix commented 6 months ago

Using --scope machine should have permission:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Confirm

Or using administrator run PowerShell.

piotrminkina commented 5 months ago

The problem still exists in Windows Package Manager v1.7.10582 in PowerShell version 5.1.22621.2506.
