• New feature
• Bug fix
• Documentation update
• Refactoring
• Hotfix
• Security patch
• UI/UX improvement

Description

This was a complete re-write of how winget get installed or updated. The old github method would fail a lot as the packages are updated often. The choco package fallback always fails since it is never up to date as well.

I switched to using the out of date winget to update winget for method 1
if this fails, we switch to using the ms store for method 2
finally we can also use nuget to install for the final try.

The winget reinstall also still doesn't work for me. It doesn't appear in the logs, but here are the errors in the console output:

Chocolatey v2.4.1
3 validations performed. 2 success(es), 1 warning(s), and 0 error(s).

Validation Warnings:
 - A pending system reboot request has been detected, however, this is
   being ignored due to the current Chocolatey configuration.  If you
   want to halt when this occurs, then either set the global feature
   using:
     choco feature enable --name="exitOnRebootDetected"
   or pass the option --exit-when-reboot-detected.
