Important update!

I'm no longer actively maintaining this due to moving to macOS as my daily OS.

What's this?

In this repo I maintain a list (winget.ps1) of software I may install on a fresh installation of Windows 10 using Winget, and an installation guide for Winget on Windows 10 LTSC which can be found below.

Installing Winget on Windows 10 LTSC (IoT) manually

⚠ Manual installation does not receive auto updates, but is the only option without installing Windows Store on LTSC ⚠

Installing Dependencies

Open an elevated (administrator) PowerShell prompt and keep it open throughout this guide.

VC++ v14 Desktop Framework Package

Download the correct VC++ v14 Desktop Framework Package for your architecture.
Install with: Add-AppxPackage -Path "PATH TO FILE"

Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7

Winget v1.2.10271 introduced a new dependency for Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7 which you have to install manually. The solution to install this on LTSC is not pretty, but it works.

Download the Nuget package manually by clicking "Download package" on the right hand side under the "About" section.
Change the file extension from .nuget to .zip and open it with any archiving program.
Within the archive navigate to tools\AppX\[YOUR ARCHITECTURE]\Release and extract Microsoft.UI.XAML.2.7.appx.
Install with: Add-AppxPackage -Path "PATH TO FILE"

Installing Winget

Make sure all dependencies are installed before doing this!
From the latest release download the .msixbundle install- and .xml license file: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases
Install with: Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath "PATH TO MSIXBUNDLE" -LicensePath "PATH TO XML" -Verbose
Wait for the install to finish and you're done. You may need to restart the terminal, or reboot your pc.
Verify that the installation succeeded by running winget in PowerShell. If no errors occur then you're done!
