Unable to reproduce this issue.

It seems winget.exe will prefer machine scope installation than user scope. When running in an un-elevated pwsh.exe, the installer will query user for a UAC authorization.

PS> pwsh --version
PowerShell 7.4.0
PS> winget install HTTPie.HTTPie

I believe this might be the expected behavior when running from a user account where elevation isn't available. So would be a feature instead of a bug.

Feature request: Improve output message when a package fails to install because elevation isn't possible.

Thanks. Installing as user fixed the issue for me. Some error message explaining the issue or some metadata preventing installing system-wide from user context would be appreciated.
