Package dependency is not available mid-installation

[hamnarauf]

Brief description of your issue

Installing Dev Home in a fresh installation of Windows 11 fails due to a dependency error. Winget downloads the dependency but it is not being recognized and throws an error.

Even though winget downloads and installs the dependency, the logs show that the installation still fails due to missing dependency

The logs say that the min dependency version is 3000.934.1904.0 and looking at winget-pkgs, the version is at 3000.882.2207.0

Looks like we need to update the package over at winget-pkgs

[denelon]

@hamnarauf it looks like the PR was merged and published.
Can you confirm this is working correctly now?

@hamnarauf it looks like the PR was merged and published. Can you confirm this is working correctly now?

Even with the new dependency:

WinGet-2023-09-26-09-17-07.198.log

[mdanish-kh]

I could also reproduce this in a clean VM. It looks like there's another issue with the dependency i.e., WindowsAppRuntime where it requires elevation for a complete install. Running the installer manually in user mode shows this:

Verified that the installation is successful if you manually install the dependency with admin rights (then install devhome in user shell) or run the command winget install devhome in an admin terminal. This looks like we need to add ElevationRequirement: elevationRequired to WindowsAppRuntime manifest. I have no way to test if the ElevationRequirement will be honored in a dependency scenario but let's see if it is after merging it in the manifest and then installing devhome...

New possibly related issues:

• Dependency not installed during Package install #3671
• Handle opposing elevation requirements for packages with dependencies. #3675

[mdanish-kh]

I have no way to test if the ElevationRequirement will be honored in a dependency scenario but let's see if it is after merging it in the manifest and then installing devhome...

The PR for adding ElevationRequirement has been merged, and it looks like the ElevationRequirement is being honored properly and subsequent installation of devhome is successful in a clean VM. This is resolved at my end. @hamnarauf Can you please confirm the same?

[hamnarauf]

The suggestion to install as admin worked for me! Thanks. Closing as resolved.
