Add CreateNoWindow = true feature

Hi. Would it be possible to add the following launch property to the winget executable?

CreateNoWindow = true

Or some similar functionality to prevent a cmd window from appearing whenever the winget commands run?

Add Repair Feature (Winget 1.7.10514)

NETFramework Version=v4.8 Error

Getting a "Could not install package 'WGet.NET 2.3.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.8', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author"

When trying to import the nuget package to a net framework 4.8 project

Anygot got a quick fix?

.Net Standard Support

It would be great if you could support .NET standard!

My application MUST use .NET 4 as it uses Microsoft libraries that are full framework :( but I have most of my libraries set to ".NET Standard" so that I can use them in both core and full framework where necessary.

Add Pin Feature (Winget 1.5.x)

How do you use this wrapper?

I can't find any documentation or code examples, please tell me how to use this wrapper

Add Download Feature (Winget 1.6.x)

GetInstalledPackages throws exception if no packages.

Why does packageManager.GetInstalledPackages(PackageId) throw an exception when no packages are returned rather than null?

 WGetNET.WinGetActionFailedException: The search of installed packages failed.

Is there another way to check this?

Why would `GetInstalledPackages` return 2 when `winget show` returns 1?

For some reason when I do packageManager.GetInstalledPackages("nkdAgility.AzureDevOpsMigrationTools") I get two identical elements returned.

But when I run winget show nkdAgility.AzureDevOpsMigrationTools I get only 1 item returned

Any ideas?

Hang for `WinGet winget = new WinGet();`

I have some users reporting a hang on initilisation of the tool on Windows Server and some Windows 11 platforms.

I assume Winget is not installed.

Add function to read full winget info

winget --info

Unneeded data fields:

• Windows
• System Architecture
• Package

Process buffer width is too short for output list parsing

The winget process that gets startet, uses the default buffer width.
The default buffer width is too short and because of this winget does not output the full name and id of some packages.
This results in incomplete parsing of the name and/or id of some packages.

After parsing the result could look like this:
