I *KNEW* I saw an icon for OhMyPosh inside #WinGet yesterday. All I had to figure out was how to make it show. Voila! #WindowsInsiders

Eindelijk een fijne oplossing gevonden voor het up-to-date houden van je software voor Windows. #Winget in combinatie met #UniGetUi. Werkt net zoals de diverse packetmanagers van Linux-distro's

More #WinGet adventures! First, I jump the Oh-My-Posh update hurdle. Second, I remove a couple of obsolete instances. Good fun... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/jumping-wingets-install-technology-hurdle.html

Ever wondered why #WinGet updates don't always follow list order? Me, too! Here's my explanation... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/winget-list-install-orders-seldom-match.html

If you read its output carefully, you'll totally get why I think that #Winget Upgrade knows more than it says. Let me explain... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/winget-upgrade-knows-more-than-it-says.html

#FileZilla 不允许除了浏览器以外的程序从它官网下载安装包，所以不能进 #winget
于是我下载了 #WinSCP

OK then, when I checked #WinGet to see if the new PowerShell 7.6.3 would install, it didn't. So Copilot wrote me a script to grab it from GitHub and install it. Worked! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

After getting Intelligent Terminal to show me a working Copilot pane, I then experience a #Winget update failure. Interesting, but easily fixed. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/winget-copilot-cli-update-gets-interesting.html

I am just going to leave this here for you all.

It seems #Microsoft has published something we all could use!

🖥️ Windows Dev Config

Turns a fresh Windows 11 box into a clean, distraction-free dev workstation in one shot.

A single #winget configuration file that installs dev tools, applies opinionated Windows settings, and bootstraps #WSL + #Ubuntu through the required reboot. Non-interactive. Idempotent. Safe to re-run on an existing machine.

winget configure -f .\windows-dev-config\dev-config.winget --accept-configuration-agreements --disable-interactivity

⚠️ May reboot. Enabling WSL needs a Windows optional feature that requires a restart. A RunOnce task picks the configuration back up after you sign in, installs Ubuntu, and finishes the run. Expect one hard reboot plus about a minute of post-login work. Save your work first.

What you get

#Windows settings: Dark theme, developer mode, long paths, File Explorer defaults, Start/Search cleanup, Edge policies, and other workstation defaults.

BTW: the #installers via #winget were redirected to #GitHub. This should enhance the download speed a lot.

The mirrors at @sourceforge were not reliable yesterday (only one was available) resulting in painful slow download speeds here in Europ. It is imperative that this is not acceptable one day after a new #release.

At least the standard #NumeRe #installer is now available via #winget.

There seem to be problems with the portable one, which we do not really understand, because the contents of both installers are identical, only the installation process is different with the standard one requiring elevation.

Addendum: we are also publishing the portable version via #winget, if we get the installer problems sorted out.

The publication of the #NumeRe #release to #winget takes again some time, as they seem to have problems with our installer - which should work perfectly fine - at least it does on our various testing machines.

Aptivi Choco Pack has a new name...

🎉 It's Aptivi Packaging! 🎉

Aptivi Choco Pack is now Aptivi Packaging

When we started making packages for our applications, we resorted to making Chocolatey packaging for our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom. This was made in an effort to make installation of our applications easier and simpler, complete with documentation.

We have earlier introduced WinGet packaging for our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom earlier this year to provide an easy way to install them, knowing that WinGet is shipped with Windows 11 as a built-in system component.

Now, we are very excited to announce that the Choco Pack organization on GItHub has been renamed to Aptivi Packaging!

This was done to better reflect its purpose as a repository for our packaging efforts for our applications, with more to come. Right now, you can access this organization to view two repositories: WinGet and Chocolatey metadata packages.

To learn more about the new organization’s name, please visit Aptivi Newsroom below.

If you are experiencing fork sync issues with WinGetCreate, synchronize your fork of winget-pkgs to fix them!

Fixing WinGetCreate fork synchronization issue when submitting a WinGet manifest

WinGet is a package manager that is made by Microsoft for modern Windows systems. It simplifies application installation by downloading it from official sources without having to manually search the web. There are also helpers that make installation using WinGet much easier, such as UniGetUI.

When you are an application developer and you are submitting WinGet manifests using WinGetCreate, it uses the GitHub API to fork the winget-pkgs repository to your GitHub account to make submission faster. However, one day, you might run into this error message when you’re trying to submit a manifest:

 PS C:\Users\aptiv\manifests\a\Aptivi\BassBoom\1.0.0> wingetcreate submit C:\Users\aptiv\manifests\a\Aptivi\BassBoom\1.0.0  Manifest validation succeeded: True   Submitting pull request for manifest...   The forked repository could not be synced with the upstream commits. Sync your fork manually and try again. 

This message means that your fork has become so outdated that WinGetCreate couldn’t safely submit your manifest to create a pull requests for inclusion to the WinGet repository. This is clearly indicated in the message: The forked repository could not be synced with the upstream commits. Sync your fork manually and try again.

In order to fix this, you’ll have to manually synchronize your fork. Follow the below steps:

1. Open your GitHub account, and search for your fork of winget-pkgs. For example, our fork of winget-pkgs is found under AptiviCEO/winget-pkgs.
   • You can search your fork with this URL: https://github.com/<ACCOUNT>?tab=repositories&q=winget-pkgs&type=&language=&sort=
2. Press Sync Fork. You should see the below message saying that your fork is out of date.

1. Press Update Branch. Your fork should then be synchronized to the latest commit that is pushed to the main repository, microsoft/winget-pkgs. Verify that your fork is up to date like the below picture:

1. Now, submit your package again using WinGetCreate. If everything is OK, you should be able to submit a manifest, just like below:

 PS C:\Users\aptiv\manifests\a\Aptivi\BassBoom\1.0.0> wingetcreate submit C:\Users\aptiv\manifests\a\Aptivi\BassBoom\1.0.0  Manifest validation succeeded: True   Submitting pull request for manifest...   Pull request can be found here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/367938 

1. Verify that your pull request is created successfully with the expected contents. For example, the BassBoom v1.0 pull request has been created.
2. At this point, wait for the moderation team to give a review on your pull request.

If you are still experiencing failures when pushing manifests to WinGet’s official repository using WinGetCreate, let us know!

Imre has submitted a pull request to WinGet adding a 16-bit MS DOS program.

BassBoom is now available via WinGet!

Starting from today, BassBoom, which is a cross-platform MPEG music player written in C# with libmpg123 as the backend library, is now available via WinGet! This was done as part of our package efforts to make installation easier for our users.

Previously, BassBoom was made available in the official Ubuntu PPA, the Windows Installer format, the Arch Linux PKGBUILD format, in Chocolatey package format, and in NuGet package format.

Now, we took a step further into doing what we did previously to Nitrocid to make installation easier for BassBoom users via WinGet, which is a package manager that lets you install programs with packages as the medium seamlessly with the command line interface. It eliminates the need to perform a web search to download a piece of software, which saves time and effort.

To learn more about how to install BassBoom using WinGet and the package release method, consult the Aptivi Newsroom article below.

Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x is now available for ARM64 Windows systems via WinGet!

https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/2026/03/20/nitrocid-0-1-0-x-and-0-2-0-x-for-arm64-is-now-available-on-winget/

Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x for ARM64 is now available on WinGet!

Last month, we have announced the availability of Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x for the traditional AMD64 Windows systems with WinGet as the installation method. This made the installation of Nitrocid easier and smoother without having to install a separate package manager or to manually go to our GitHub.

Now, we are very excited to announce that we have made a significant progress regarding the packaging of Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x for ARM64 systems. Starting from today, you can now install Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x on ARM64 systems with WinGet!

Snapdragon X and other Windows systems that use ARM64 as the processor architecture can now experience the same smooth installation flow, which simplifies the installation experience, given that we understand that WinGet is shipped with Windows 11 these days.

You can install Nitrocid 0.2.0.x and 0.1.0.x using WinGet on ARM64 systems using the following commands:

• Nitrocid 0.2.0.x: winget install Aptivi.Nitrocid.0.2.0.x
• Nitrocid 0.1.0.x: winget install Aptivi.Nitrocid.0.1.0.x

The documentation will be updated shortly to reflect the status of Nitrocid’s WinGet packages as a new installation method.

Please note that the updated packages may not be always available, and updates can take from a minimum of few hours to a maximum of few days to propagate, depending on the version being distributed.
