Brief description of your issue

The latest pre-release version of winget requires Microsoft.UI.Xaml version 2.7, which doesn't have an external (no MSStore) download link. As such, it's impossible to install on Windows Sandbox or LTSC builds of Windows.

image

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a Windows Sandbox.
  2. Go to releases and download the latest pre-release version of winget/DesktopAppInstaller.
  3. Download the desktop bridge package from here.
  4. Install the pre-release version of winget, supplying the desktop bridge package as a dependency.

Expected behavior

winget to install, with the dependency support stuff ready to test!

Actual behavior

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF3, Package failed updates, dependency or conflict validation.
Windows cannot install package Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.17.3411.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because this package depends on a framework that could not be found. Provide the framework
"Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7" published by "CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US", with neutral or x64 processor architecture and minimum version
7.2109.13004.0, along with this package to install. The frameworks with name "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7" currently installed are: {}
NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 5730573a-07cf-000f-f88c-3057cf07d801 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID

(And before someone says it, yes I know how to get stuff from the Store for offline installation. But that's not the kosher method, and I'd rather someone ask the team that packages Microsoft.UI.Xaml to make it available at a URL like the Desktop Bridge team did.)

Environment

Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.22000.434

Any other software? This is the Sandbox build of Windows, so there is not a Microsoft Store available.

I found a workaround that doesn't involve the Store:

  1. Download this NuGetPackage: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.UI.Xaml/
  2. Unzip it (change file extension if needed to .zip)
  3. Go to .\tools\AppX\{arch}\Release\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7.appx and install it.

I would much prefer to have a direct link to just the appx file (like for the Desktop Bridge) but this satisfies it in a relatively kosher way.
