WinGet is the Windows Package Manager. This project includes a CLI (Command Line Interface), PowerShell modules, and a COM (Component Object Model) API (Application Programming Interface).
Some packages like Google.Chrome.EXE have additional conponents like Google.GoogleUpdate required to make them run properly or to enable the full functionality of the package
However, in the example above, installing Google.GoogleUpdate first will result in a successful return code even though Google.GoogleUpdate won’t be installed. Installing it after installing Google.Chrome.EXE however does result in a successful install.
This means that it cannot be set as a dependency of Google.Chrome.EXE as the dependencies are installed first.
It would be beneficial to specify additional packages to be installed after the initial install is completed
