Hi @stephengillie ,

Didn't know it but after checking, it is indeed a nested installer. image

Is it possible to treat an EXE as a ZIP in winget?

Hi @amber-m-mvd,

Yes, I believe it's possible to use the InstallerType of zip for an InstallerUrl ending in .exe. To accompany this, our manifest schema has details for specifying NestedInstallerType, and under NestedInstallerFiles, both the RelativeFilePath to the nested installer (from the root of the extracted files) and optional PortableCommandAlias.

That's great!

Already tested, winget.exe unable to extract archives from the *.exe file. 😞
