v1.0.0

Scout for WinGet

Scout for WinGet manages real Windows packages. Install, upgrade, uninstall, and repair actions change your package state. See the README for setup and usage.

Downloads

• Portable ZIP (wingetscout-<version>-win-<architecture>.zip): the complete COM build. Extract the folder and run wingetscout.exe.
• Standalone EXE (wingetscout-<architecture>.exe): uses the WinGet CLI backend because its COM companion files are not included.
• SHA256SUMS-*.txt: checksums for each architecture's files.

Portable downloads are currently unsigned. Compare the SHA-256 checksum before running a downloaded file. Build provenance attestations can be checked with gh attestation verify <file> -R harder/wingetscout.

What's Changed

• Prepare Scout 1.0.0 and add author section by @harder in #37

Full Changelog: v0.1.3...v0.2.0

v0.1.3

⚠️ Proof of concept Install / uninstall / upgrade / repair actions operate on your real package state. See README before running on real systems.

Downloads

Three ways to run it; pick by how much you want the COM features (Verify, Repair, install preview, richer detail, live progress) vs. zero-install simplicity. See com-activation.md.

File	Backend	Install	Notes
winget-tui-sharp-0.1.3-{x64,arm64}.msix	COM	yes (signed)	Download B — package identity → COM, smallest footprint. Requires the package to be signed (see below).
winget-tui-sharp-0.1.3-win-{x64,arm64}.zip	COM	no (portable)	Exe + in-process engine + docs. COM with no install, no signing — the no-fuss COM option.
winget-tui-sharp-{x64,arm64}.exe	CLI	no (portable)	Download A — single exe, winget CLI backend, no COM features.
SHA256SUMS-*.txt	—	—	Per-architecture checksums

Quick start

• Just run it (CLI): download the .exe for your architecture and run it.
• COM, no install: download the .zip, extract, run winget-tui-sharp.exe from the folder (the in-process engine sits beside it).
• COM, installed (MSIX): download the .msix and double-click. Unsigned MSIX builds install only with Developer Mode enabled; a properly signed release installs normally.

# Verify a download (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash .\winget-tui-sharp-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256
# Compare against SHA256SUMS-win-x64.txt

The portable downloads aren't code-signed (POC) — on first run click SmartScreen's "More info" → "Run anyway", or Unblock-File the exe.

What's Changed

• Add WinGet COM API backend with runtime selection + eight COM-backed features by @harder in #7
• feat: WinGet COM backend enrichment — richer details, dynamic sources, Repair, version badge by @harder in #10
• chore(deps): Bump actions/download-artifact from 4 to 8 by @dependabot[bot] in #9
• feat: COM under Native AOT (in-proc server) + Verify/activation fixes + TUI polish by @harder in #11
• Harden concurrency, shutdown, and resource lifecycle by @harder in #15
• chore(deps): Bump actions/checkout from 6 to 7 by @dependabot[bot] in #12
• chore(deps): Bump actions/setup-dotnet from 5 to 6 by @dependabot[bot] in #13
• chore(deps): Bump azure/trusted-signing-action from 0.5.0 to 2.0.0 by @dependabot[bot] in #14
