Would you consider allowing the application to be installed via winget?

If someone wants to manage it, why not :) but what would be the default config ?

...and it have to be constantly repackaged.
Note: At this time installers must either be MSIX, MSI or .exe application installers. Compressed .zip files and fonts are not currently supported

@Romanitho do you have a packaging certificate (I had until a year ago)?
One could make a wrapper that downloads your latest zip and installs it like you do in the WAU update solution and host the MSI on your GitHub and point to it in a manifest.
But, what parameters should it install with?

One could buy a cert for a year just to do this wrapper as it never needs to be repackaged if the paths on GitHub never changes
Edit. Or wait until the native PS support is in place for Winget packages...

The thing with an MSI or EXE is that it is not in the spirit of what I wanted, and as you said, we need certificate and stuff (what we don't have with WiGui). Full open source Powershell project can be easily understandable. So no extra thing than just few scripts and scheduled tasks 😊
But once again, it is a community project and if this is the best for all, let's create a winget package

Better wait until the native PS support is in place for Winget packages (if it doesn't require certificate EDIT: otherwise we could fundraise for a coding certificate 😊)
