Can you take a look at this?@bpmct

Hey! Sorry for the late response - I'm looking at publishing the first package now so we can get the ID and then update via this action

Sure, link it here when you are done.

@matifali It seems like Winget very recently added support for portable apps (standalone .exe) and it's somewhat new and experimental. For example, I can't figure out how to create the app withwingetcreate https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/download/v0.8.14/coder_0.8.14_windows_amd64.zip as it's expecting a MSI file or similar, not a standalone exe.

Ah, I just saw this in the v1.3 release.

Note: TheWindows Package Manager Community Repository does not accept portable applications. They will not be accepted until after 1.3 is Generally Available and has been rolled out to the majority of Windows systems via the automatic upgrade from the Microsoft Store. Users may test with local manifests.

I also haven't been able to test with a local manifest. This does not seem to be working for me. Any ideas?

By modifying the manifest file as per the latestsingelton schema, although for community repo submission, we need three files schemas (wingetcreate will generate them automatically)

I was able to install it locally and reached up to this point.

wingetcreate1.1.2.0 does support creating manifests for portable apps, but I am not sure if it accepts azip instead of anexe
May be coder should publish.exe for windows instead of.zip

There seems to be a known bugmicrosoft/winget-create#302 for why this is not working.

Hmm ok. I will follow the issue there. It seems like this doesn't work with exe either, given that issue and the fact that it unzipped things fine

How to we get past this? I ran into the same thing and it seems to be exclusive to winget

Yes, it seems like it is installing it, and binary is on the path but can't execute. I will try to find the reason soon. It has to do something with 'App Execution Alias'.

Check this for reference. This is a portable app published onwinget. It is usingYamlCreate.ps1 to generate manifests.

This Pull Request is becoming stale. In order to minimize WIP, prevent merge conflicts and keep the tracker readable, I'm going close to this PR in 3 days if there isn't more activity.

Now that we have the installer this can be reopened and updated. The installer URL should be the asset URL from the release (e.g.https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/download/v0.11.0/coder_0.11.0_windows_amd64_installer.exe) and should have the same fields as the package I submitted manually:microsoft/winget-pkgs#86238
