Support mixed elevation requirements in configuration files #4353

Open denelon opened 5 months ago

denelon commented 5 months ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I want to be able to use a single WinGet Configuration file to configure my system. If for example, I have two packages with opposing elevation requirements, I want WinGet to be able to do the right thing.

The configuration file will need to be decorated appropriately so DSC Resources requiring elevation and those prohibiting elevation can be clearly identified.

WinGet should be able to run only the resources requiring elevation with elevation and all others without elevation.

Proposed technical implementation details

It should be smart enough to detect the elevation requirement right away so it can UAC prompt, not after first having installed x number of per-user apps.

This work was completed for the COM API leveraged by Dev Home, but we still need to do the work for this to function properly in the CLI and the PowerShell cmdlets.
