Windows Package Manager 1.4.3132-preview

This is the third development build after the Windows Package Manager 1.3 build for Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11.

Experimental features are enabled in this release. The experimental support for installing from a zip file (including portable packages) is included in this release. Another helpful troubleshooting feature is "--open-logs". This build will be released to Windows Insider Dev builds, and Windows Package Manager Insiders.

Run winget features to see which experimental features are enabled or disabled.
Add the following to your settings (winget settings) file to enable support for testing .zip manifests:

"experimentalFeatures": {"zipInstall": true}

Add the following to your settings (winget settings) file to enable support for opening the log directory:

"experimentalFeatures":{"openLogsArgument":true}

With this experimental feature enabled you can append "--open-logs" to any command and the logs directory will open after the command completes.

Windows Package Manager 1.4.2161-preview

This is the second development build after the Windows Package Manager 1.3 build for Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11.

Experimental features are enabled in this release. The experimental support for installing from a zip file (except portable packages) is included in this release. This build will be released to Windows Insider Dev builds, and Windows Package Manager Insiders.

Run winget features to see which experimental features are enabled or disabled.
Add the following to your settings (winget settings) file to enable support for testing .zip manifests:

"experimentalFeatures": {"zipInstall": true}
