Can't install v1.9.25180

[Cyberboss]

Somethings changed in the process.

It works fine on Windows Sandbox on my personal Pro 10, but it refuses to work on the server 2022 images.

if you install (not only provision) the winget.msixbundle then it gives much usefull info that there is a hidden dependency not well documented.

The VCLibs version required is:

• 14.0.33728.0 but what is installed is
• 14.0.33321.0

and thus, it does not run ... :-(

I believe that these dependencies should be handled inside the winget bundler (whoever oriduces the bundle) and should not be fixed here.

The installer here wants to install a "working bundle of winget" ... if it is not working then ... failing is OK but with a good failure report :-)

In few minutes I will submit a PR which does work with working bundle of winget and gives the error listed here in case of a bad bundle (should be a defect submitted to the "bundler")

Now the issue can be seen here on builds "Test Latest with ... ".
Link to one of them: https://github.com/Cyberboss/install-winget/actions/runs/11652279817/job/32443276681#step:2:90

That is why I think that this tests should be given to winget-cli team (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli), and a release of winget-cli should not be done until these tests pass ...
