@Dragon1573, are you using an ASRock motherboard? I've not had that error, but I am using one:

@Dragon1573, are you using an ASRock motherboard?

Nope ... None of my device use this motherboard.

Is ASRock motherboard required? If it is, the issue should be closed as not planned because it will never pass the validation pipelines hosted on Microsoft Azure.

Issue should be marked with https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/labels/Blocking-Issue and https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/labels/Hardware.

@Dragon1573, I don't know whether it does necessitate that - it was an estimate. However, this is a quite important vendor firmware updater, so it should probably be considered based upon the fact that the motherboard itself prompts the user to install it the moment that Windows is first configured - it solely being available from their website is going to cause people to accidentally install malware from similar websites higher in Google's search rankings.

Do you have any other devices with non-ASRock baseboard? Could you please check if this baseboard is required for running ASRock.AppShop?

[!NOTE]

My device is a laptop bought from HUAWEI. Some packages (such as Huawei.AppGallery and Huawei.HuaweiMobileCloud) are integrated to the initial OS image and support features only available for HUAWEI hardware.

In your situation, it would be better integrate to the OS image than asking users to install themselves. Or, provide the official link directly to users instead of asking users to search themselves.

@Dragon1573, I think you quite severely underestimate what would be bureaucratically necessary to integrate this into Windows, and why that would be wholly undesirable - generally the more modular an OS, the better. Irrespective, that shan't occur.

I do have another device with the exact same baseboard, and it indeed installs, but why do you ask - what does that demonstrate?

Dragon1573 commented 4 months ago

Could you launch App Shop on that non-ASRock baseboard?

I do able to submit a manifest for this package, but I think it will mostly fail during validation.

@stephengillie , this package seems hard depends on a specific hardware (baseboard), how can we dig deeper? :pray:

I created a manifest and validated with Tools/SandboxTest.ps1, it can be successfully installed but unable to launch. Should we reject this package?

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/160709#issuecomment-2198834409

@Dragon1573, I've no non-ASRock baseboard to evaluate this on. Is there no way to perform manual validation? I ask because I've recently seen myriad reports of users falling for phishing URIs when attempting to download the installer for this package (it's a fault of ASRock's hideous SEO and bad website design) so having it on WinGet would make it easier for me to recommend it.

Dragon1573 commented 4 months ago

Currently, the PR mentioned above pass the automatic validation. Moderators of this repository will perform manual validation with this package on Azure VMs.

Currently no responses from them. Patience are needed.

Unfortunately, we're not able to satisfy the hardware requirement.

Dragon1573 commented 4 months ago

@RokeJulianLockhart, the hardware requirements is proved. I think we can closed this issue as "not planned".
