Installing Multiple Applications Using Winget
I may seem to bite off more than I can chew, sometimes. My goals are simple. This is a basic software installation of software I do not have. To make it interesting I have four applications I want to install in one script. Needless to say things didn't work as expected. The basic script works fine on a single app unless there some variables I like to call a Monkey Wrench.
These are the initial scripts I used:
winget search steam
winget install steam
winget upgrade steam
This worked great for "Stellarium" but not for three others
winget install stellarium
The multi-app script looks like this:
winget install --id MIT.Scratch1 Valve.Steam NewBreedSoftware.TuxPaint
Two application installed without incident.
This showed me the limit of how many I can do.
The lesson I learned?
I'm glad you asked.
Do your research to find out how many sources there are and what the ID is before you begin. Finding out the ID or Moniker can help in refining your process.
Hope this is helpful
