winget install
support specifying installer extension/type (EXE vs. MSI) (#2146), similarity score: 0.76Note: You can give me feedback by thumbs upping or thumbs downing this comment.
Description of the new feature / enhancement
This is mostly for enhancing user experience. When I give
--installer-type exe
forwinget (install|upgrade|download|show)
command, then I would expect to get an EXE based installer (ending in .exe extension). Currently, the filter works if manifest specifies onlyInstallerType: exe
. I would expect the filter to work with different variants of EXE installers i.e.,inno
,nullsoft
, orburn
.If multiple EXE variants are found within the same manifest, then the CLI should throw an error and ask the user to disambiguate.
