How to prevent Winget Batch Commands from stopping if one of the applications is already installed?

Question

I am trying to install several apps with winget in a single command on Windows 10.

Example:

winget install --id=Google.Chrome -e && winget install --id=Obsidian.Obsidian -e

Problem:

if google chrome would be installed already then it stops with a message that the application is already installed and the following commands (installation of obsidian) are not executed anymore.

Are there any parameters that make sure that in case of error the full command is executed?

Also another issue I have is that one application installation fails because of some problem with incorrect hash.... why is that?

Answer 1

Hi,

Please use "&" instead of "&&".

winget install --id=Google.Chrome -e & winget install --id=Obsidian.Obsidian -e

Best Regards,

Ah cool thx for the help. The difference between && and & is the key. Seems I got level up my cmd skills. After you gave me the solution I looked a bit more into it and here is a summary of some useful commands: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28889954/what-does-do-in-this-batch-file
