Winget installs only some apps

Question

I am putting all effords on msstore and winget scripting (apps auto installations and updating), and discovered something alarming;

If I run Winget.exe install Google.Chrome I get Google Chrome installed just fine.

If I run Winget.exe install GIMP.GIMP I get nothing (I get successfull downloading and installation process, but no app at all).

So, is that new MS store still in beta phase?

Answer 1

@Pavel yannara Mirochnitchenko, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my test, the GIMP is not supported in preview.

I think this can be in preview stage. So some apps are not available yet. You can contact the app support to see if they have successfully uploaded the app into Microsoft store new. If the app has already uploaded, you can contact Microsoft store support to look into the app in the background to help on this.

Hope the above information can help.
