Asked By CuriousCoder42 On

I'm having trouble using Winget in the SYSTEM context. Whenever I run the script this way, it fails to extract archives and install packages. Has anyone else faced this issue? Is it a known limitation, or could it be something wrong with my code?

If you're on a private network, make sure there aren't any authentication issues due to a proxy server that might block the SYSTEM account from accessing files.

This seems to be a common issue. It's actually by design that it behaves this way in the SYSTEM context, combined with potential issues in your code. There are others who’ve discussed how to effectively use Winget under these circumstances. Check those out!

Consider changing the extraction method to 'tar' in your settings. The default Windows API for archive extraction isn’t reliable across all versions.
