Windows 10: Use winget to download apps but not install?

I'd like to download certain apps from the Windows store e.g. Movies & TV and then install them on lab systems that don't have Internet connectivity. Is this possible?

:)

 

winget

Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features then, in the right-hand pane, click on the link for Manage app execution aliases.

If the winget client has installed properly then you should see this:





If you don't see this then either the installer hasn't added itself to the PATH environment variable or you haven't signed out/signed in (or both... there are issues reported with this first release).

Try installing it again:

You should see this:





If it installs successfully then you should see this:





In a console (PowerShell or CMD), the command winget list should result in something like this:





Hope this helps...

Specifically, something related to this:

1. The App Installer did not automatically add the PATH environment variable. You should add the path environment variable. The value to add is "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps". You can verify this by running %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\winget from a command-prompt or & "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\WindowsApps\winget" from a powershell. If the command runs then, but not before, then you very likely have a missing PATH environment component.

You have installed it first, haven't you? It doesn't come with Windows. If so, try a Command Prompt rather than Powershell.
