Winget Scripts

A collection of scripts to automate installing packages from winget

Requirements

• gsudo
• winget-cli

Instructions

1. Before using the scripts in this repo, you must first install gsudo. You can do so via the following methods.

• Using Scoop: scoop install gsudo
• Using WinGet: winget install gerardog.gsudo -e -i
• Using Chocolatey: choco install gsudo
• Powershell:

PowerShell -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -scope Process; [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = 'Tls12'; iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gerardog/gsudo/master/installgsudo.ps1 | iex"

• Portable:

1. Download gsudo.portable.zip from the latest release
2. Extract the folder corresponding to your processor architecture (x64, x86, or arm64) from the zip file to a suitable directory on your computer.
3. Optionally, add that directory to your system's PATH environment variable if it's not already accessible.

Make sure to restart all your console windows after installing to ensure that the PATH environment variable is refreshed.

2. Once you have installed gsudo, simply double click the batch file for whichever program you wish to install.

Note: The batch files will store verbose logs in the %localappdata%\logging\winget folder. If the folder does not exist, the batch scripts will create it.

Contributing

Contributors are more than welcome to add their own scripts. Simply make sure to copy and paste the following and then edit in the id and name.

Note: Do NOT include "" in the id or name, as it will break the script.

@echo off
  rem Test if current context is already elevated:
  whoami /groups | findstr /b BUILTIN\Administrators | findstr /c:"Enabled group" 1> nul 2>nul && goto :isadministrator
  echo Requesting Administrator permission...
  :: Use gsudo to launch this batch file elevated.
  gsudo "%~f0"
  goto end
:isadministrator

  set logpath=%LOCALAPPDATA%\logging\winget

  for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime /value') do set "dt=%%a"
  set "YY=%dt:~2,2%" & set "YYYY=%dt:~0,4%" & set "MM=%dt:~4,2%" & set "DD=%dt:~6,2%"
  set "HH=%dt:~8,2%" & set "Min=%dt:~10,2%" & set "Sec=%dt:~12,2%"

  set "datestamp=%YYYY%%MM%%DD%" & set "timestamp=%HH%%Min%%Sec%"
  set "fullstamp=%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%_%HH%-%Min%-%Sec%"

  echo datestamp: "%datestamp%"
  echo timestamp: "%timestamp%"
  echo fullstamp: "%fullstamp%"
  echo package: "%name% [%id%]"

  echo Installing selected package... please be patient...
  winget install %id% -e -i --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --verbose > "%logpath%\%name%_%fullstamp%.log"
:end
