Windows Package Manager 1.6.2561

[ryfu-msft]

This release represents our second Windows Package Manager 1.6 release candidate build for Windows 10 (1809+), and Windows 11. Experimental features have been disabled in this release.

The winget configure command is now a stable feature and can be used to automatically handle the setup and configuration requirements for an ideal development environment on your Windows machine. Applying a WinGet configuration file helps with installing and managing software packages, applications, programming languages, frameworks, tools, or settings necessary for a project.

You can also use the winget download command to download a package installer to your local machine. Support for package dependencies and enabling Windows Features are also included in this stable release.

This discussion was created from the release Windows Package Manager 1.6.2561.

Hi,
We are facing the problem of access for Admins or System to state folders. #3471
So, we can't delete user profiles with our processes anymore..
I tried to update my Windows Package Manager 1.5.2201 with this release.
Unfortunately, rights doesn't seem to be given for System or Admins to the Default State Folder.
Is this release committed and downloadable yet ?
Thanks

[denelon]

@Glem29 I believe the fix may be in the 1.6 release candidate build linked above.

[Glem29]

I don't know if i'm at the right place to talk about that. Please give me an advice for rerouting if you have an idea.
About the #3471
When i succeed in having good rights on the "statefolder" directory, some updates are ressetting these rights.
I think the more eligible process is the Company Portal App which reset these rights....( seen the 20thSeptember)
So, my question is : If Windows Package Installer fixes the "rights" problem, will it be sufficient in all the Microsoft environment

[denelon]

I don't have full context on what the Company Portal App is doing with respect to permissions. Since WinGet is not running as a service, the only mechanism it has to "inspect" or "modify" rights is only triggered when it's executed.
