InternetOpenUrl() failed. 0x80072efd : unknown error

[Lexicality]

Brief description of your issue

This is very similar to #326, however I have TLS 1.2 enabled and I can access the cache fine outside winget.

Steps to reproduce

C:\WINDOWS\system32>winget --version

I eventually figured out it was being blocked by my firewall under appinstallercli.exe.
I expected the winget application to have the word winget in the executable name or installation directory, but neither of them do which is why it took so long for me to find out where it was being blocked.

I would like to suggest renaming the executable to winget-installer-cli.exe or something, and maybe having better error messages for when it's blocked by a firewall?

[denelon]

@Lexicality we don't get an explicit indication that the firewall is blocking the connection. I'm looking at what we can do in the error text, and getting an update at docs.microsoft.com.

[chausner]

The error codes of InternetOpenUrl should get mapped to a descriptive string and displayed. E.g. 0x80072efd maps to ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT. I had a similar error the other day where the TLS certificate of a download was invalid. I found out by looking up the error code. "unknown error" suggests it's a generic error code but it's actually not.

[bezuglov3000]

I had error 0x80072f7d in winget.
Strange fix for this is enabling tls 1.2 in internet explorer settings.

[mrashco]

I'm getting this error code when using winget upgrade --all - it get's stuck upgrading OpenVPN Connect, not sure why.

this worked for me.

I have this problem with VPN installed and that means winget is useless if the vpn is activated. Is that so?

[mmuffins]

I just got the same issues for seemingly random packages.

[SuperJC710e]

I just got the same issues for seemingly random packages.

I have the same issue, but I think it's because my work laptop is domain joined and using Cisco Umbrella. Many of the URLs used by winget are blocked unless I'm logged into the VPN. Perhaps you have the same? 🤷‍♂️

I ran it from my home computer. No vpns, proxies, or other network components you wouldn't find a regular home network environment. There haven't been any changes to the computer or network (that I know of), and I'm able to directly download the executables:

You could try switching to the "wininet" downloader rather than "DO" (Delivery Optimization) which is the default.

It's configurable in winget settings.

Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't work in my case, but I think it's because the Cisco Umbrella basically does some sort of MITM SSL for sites it's blocking for non-VPN authenticated users. (I can see it if I use the URL with the error in a browser.) It's annoying, and VPN doesn't really help me in my case, I still need to to everything through a Citrix Virtual Desktop anyway, so I mostly don't log it in...

[mmuffins]

Same here, I'm afraid. Neither explicitly setting wininet changes anything. But for what it's worth, it seems to be an intermittent problem for me. Both packages I posted yesterday work fine.

[mmuffins]

It really seems like an intermittent thing, but not the way I would like it to be - downloads seem to work sporadically, but are broken most of the time for me. I wanted to see if I can find out more about it and ran winget install Python.Python.3.10 --verbose-logs option, and saw the following entries at the very bottom of the log file

2022-11-04 13:41:46.546 [REPO] Downloading manifest

    Msg:[Download request status is not success.] 

winget then retries a couple of times and gives up. If I try to access the url mentioned in the log I'm getting the following

<Error>
<Code>BlobNotFound</Code>
<Message>

[mmuffins]

My bad, it seems like that problem may not be the exact same as before. The error I'm getting right now is a different one:

Failed in attempting to update the source: winget
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
Download request status is not success.
0x80190194 : unknown error

This seems to be a known issue - #2666, #1348
On top of that there is an ongoing discussion about issues trying to reach cdn.winget.microsoft.com which seems to be widespread - #1656

I'm getting this error, here's what's in verbose logs:

If I open the URL in Firefox, it downloads the yaml file and it looks like it has valid contents.

Hi, can't recall my last winget use, maybe 2 weeks ago?
Now, I get

Try ipconfig /Flushdns
that worked for me having tried everything else suspsect.

[rudolphos]

I have a similar problem. I was able to install wget without a problem, but can't install grep.

Try ipconfig /flushdns , that fixed it for me about a year ago
