I'm thinking of Windows Installer (the MSI engine and database). I haven’t been in that world for a while, but it looks like winget is a frontend to a repo of MSIs or custom installers or whatever the store uses.
- viraptor 4y agoMSI doesn't do dependencies though, does it? You can launch one installer from another, for example if you want to install a .net framework with the app, but they're completely unrelated afterwards. There's no built in mechanism for updating them either.
- erik_seaberg 4y agoI thought you could depend on components from other packages that are either installed or advertised, but I don’t remember the details.
