Hi @wukefe , for now it seems that the error is in Winget. You might receive more help in the Winget repository.

Hi @vineeththomasalex, winget is new to me. Do you know how to make it work to install devhome?

Here is what I tried, but the package was still not found:

winget source reset --force
winget source update
winget install --id Microsoft.DevHome -e

@denelon Would you be able to help @wukefe make an issue about this on the Winget repo?

I'll close this one as External.

@wukefe what version of WinGet do you have installed? Can you share the output from winget --info?

It looks like you have an older version of WinGet. Could you try upgrading?

You can either:

• Upgrade App Installer via the Microsoft Store
• Install the latest via https://aka.ms/getwinget or https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/latest

[wukefe]

Thanks! I will try it later today and will let you know.

I tried Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle to install the latest winget, but the installation was unsuccessful and no error messages were available (disappeared silently). Anyway, I will try another way to install DevHome.

[vineeththomasalex]

@wukefe Is this still an issue for you?

[wukefe]

@vineeththomasalex Sorry about my late reply. It turns out that it worked after I tried with my personal laptop without admin controls. It no longer blocks me.
