Install WinGet with one command

• Works on Windows 10 (1809 or newer, LTSC included), Windows 11, Server 2019/2022
• Always gets the latest version of winget

How to use

• Open Windows PowerShell as administrator
• Paste this command:

Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asheroto/winget-installer/master/winget-install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex

Method 2 - Fetch from PSGallery

• In PowerShell, type Install-Script -Name winget-install and answer yes to any prompts

• Then type winget-install

• If you want to trust PSGallery so you aren't prompted each time you run this command, you can type...

  Set-PSRepository -Name 'PSGallery' -InstallationPolicy Trusted

Method 3 - download file locally and run

• Download winget-install.ps1 or winget-install-signed.zip (and extract the inner PS1 script)
• Run the script with .\winget-install.ps1

Available Scripts

• winget-install.ps1

  • Unsigned script

• winget-install-signed.zip

  • Signed script
  • Compressed for transport and to retain signature
  • Uncompress to use
  • For use if you do not want to enable unsigned script execution in PowerShell

Script Functionality

• VCLibs and Xaml are installed first

• Processor architecture is determined for prerequisites

• VCLibs is installed straight from the appx package

• Xaml is installed by downloading the nupkg, extracting it, and installing the appx package

• winget-cli is then installed

• User PATH variable is adjusted to include WindowsApps folder

• Grabs the latest version of winget on each run

Note

• If you receive an error message about the Appx module not being loaded, try using a different version of PowerShell (version 6 and 7 seem to be buggy still, but the native PowerShell version in Windows works)
