.VERSION 1.0 .GUID df32c5bb-3f4a-46d3-9304-96addbf693f4 .AUTHOR Jonathan Pitre .TAGS PowerShell Module Automation .RELEASENOTES 1.0 - 2025-05-28 Initial release. #> <# .SYNOPSIS Initializes and verifies WinGet installation, attempting repairs if necessary. .DESCRIPTION This script ensures WinGet is properly installed and functional. It will: 1. Verify WinGet can find packages using the 'Microsoft.WinGet.Client' module. 2. Attempt to repair WinGet if package search fails. 3. Install WinGet and its dependencies if repair fails. 4. Locate and verify the winget.exe path. The script also ensures that necessary helper modules ('Microsoft.WinGet.Client', 'PSAppDeployToolkit.WinGet') are installed and imported. .PARAMETER WinGetId The WinGet package ID to verify functionality (e.g., "Microsoft.AppInstaller"). This is used to test if WinGet is working properly by attempting to find this package. .EXAMPLE Initialize-WinGet -WinGetId "Microsoft.AppInstaller" # Initializes WinGet and verifies it can find the Microsoft App Installer package. .OUTPUTS The found WinGet package information if successful. .NOTES This function requires and will attempt to install/update the following PowerShell modules from the PowerShell Gallery: - 'Microsoft.WinGet.Client': Provides cmdlets to interact with the WinGet service, allowing for searching, installing, and managing packages. - 'PSAppDeployToolkit.WinGet': A module likely used to integrate WinGet operations within the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit framework or provide supplementary WinGet functionalities. Administrative privileges are generally required for installing/updating these modules and for WinGet repair/installation operations. An active internet connection is needed to download modules from the PowerShell Gallery and for WinGet to function. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string]$WinGetId = 'Microsoft.AppInstaller', [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string]$LogPath = "$env:ProgramData\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Logs", [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string]$LogFile = 'WinGet_Initialization.log' ) # Create log directory if it doesn't exist if (-not (Test-Path -Path $LogPath)) { New-Item -Path $LogPath -ItemType Directory -Force | Out-Null } # Start transcript Start-Transcript -Path (Join-Path -Path $LogPath -ChildPath $LogFile) -Force -Append try { Write-Host 'Starting WinGet initialization process...' -ForegroundColor Cyan Write-Host "Log file location: $LogFile" -ForegroundColor Cyan # Install required modules $requiredModules = @('Microsoft.WinGet.Client', 'PSAppDeployToolkit.WinGet') foreach ($module in $requiredModules) { if (-not (Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name $module)) { Write-Host "Installing required module: $module..." -ForegroundColor Cyan $null = Install-Module -Name $module -Force -Scope AllUsers -AllowClobber -Repository PSGallery -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } else { Write-Host "Updating module: $module" -ForegroundColor Cyan Update-Module -Name $module -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } Import-Module -Name $module -Force } function Get-WinGetPath { # Get the latest winget.exe path try { $WinGet = Get-ChildItem -Path "$env:ProgramW6432\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_*_*__8wekyb3d8bbwe\winget.exe" -ErrorAction Stop | Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty FullName if (-not $WinGet) { Write-Warning 'Failed to locate winget.exe.' } } catch { Write-Warning "Failed to locate winget.exe: $_" } return $WinGet } try { # Verify if WinGet path can be found $WinGet = Get-WinGetPath # Try to find WinGet package $WinGetSearchResult = Find-ADTWinGetPackage -Id $AppWinGetId -Count 1 -Source winget } catch { Write-Warning "Failed to execute Winget command: $_" Write-Warning 'Attempting to repair WinGet...' try { # Verify if WinGet path can be found $WinGet = Get-WinGetPath # Try to repair WinGet first Repair-WinGetPackageManager -AllUsers -Force -Latest # Verify if repair worked by trying to find package again $WinGetSearchResult } catch { Write-Warning "Failed to repair WinGet: $_" Write-Warning 'Attempting to install WinGet and dependencies...' try { # Install WinGet and dependencies $WingetInstallScriptDirectory = Join-Path -Path $env:ProgramW6432 -ChildPath 'WindowsPowerShell\Scripts' # Ensure the target directory exists.
