AppX Packages provider #1

Open patriksvensson opened 3 years ago

Some question on this.

This provider could use the powershell provider and in purely in Windows PowerShell flavor since AppX module is not compatible with PowerShell 7. edit: Right one provider cannot talk to another 😓

I don't know of any C# library for accessing appx info.

Since this would most like map to powershell.exe -Command Add-AppxPackage and Get-AppxPackage for getting the state. edit: This would indeed be useful to ensure WinGet appx is installed.

There is the Package deployment API and the Package query API which I think would be the preferable approach for this.

As an initial approach, I see nothing wrong with shelling out to PowerShell though.

Seems simple enough :) https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-classic-samples/blob/main/Samples/PackageManagerAddPackage/cs/AddPackageSample.cs
