Microsoft Terminal installation fails because of UI.Xaml higher version

[dirrgang]

Brief description of your issue

I installed WingetUI the other day, and today I noticed it kept trying to install Windows Terminal but kept failing. Checking the logs revealed that the installation failed with this error:

PS C:\Users\d> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal
Gefunden Windows Terminal [Microsoft.WindowsTerminal] Version 1.18.3181.0

The same error happens when trying to install the Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8 package directly. I figured reinstalling the package might work, but that didn't work either:

PS C:\Users\d> winget uninstall Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8
Es wurde kein installiertes Paket gefunden, das den Eingabekriterien entspricht.
PS C:\Users\d> winget uninstall Microsoft.UI.Xaml
Es wurde kein installiertes Paket gefunden, das den Eingabekriterien entspricht.

No package found. It's also not in appwiz.cpl or the installed apps section - so I'm not really sure if it really is installed or not.

I stupidly uninstalled Windows Terminal in hopes that this fixes something, but it just refused to install it with the same error. Interestingly, installing it via the Microsoft Store UI worked without a hitch.

Steps to reproduce

Not sure what caused this issue to happen in the first place.

Expected behavior

Package is updated/installed as expected.

Actual behavior

Installation/update is cancelled because of a dependency that is (supposedly) already installed with a higher version.

WingetUI 2.1.1

[Chasapple4]

When I tried I get the prompt tho it looks like it downloads a version that is older than what is installed.

A workaround might be to manually grab the updated version

How do I install the updated version? (And which is it?) If I'm not mistaken, it is trying to install the recent version:

PS C:\Users\d> winget search Microsoft.UI.Xaml

Microsoft.UI.Xaml Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7 7.2208.15002.0 winget

[elisimpson]

Me too. The version I already have is Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8_8.2310.30001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

For some reason the WindowsTerminal installer keeps trying to install an older version UI.Xaml (8.2306.22001.0) and failing

[Chasapple4]

The version it is grabbing is older (you can see the url it is grabbing the file from in the terminal window during the download)
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.18.3181.0 has the newer one that is listed (that is based on where it was trying to grab the file from but it grabs a version that is older than 1.18.3181.0 )

[Auto72]

If you install it from here it works.

A workaround until this dependency issue gets resolved is to try installing without the dependency by passing --skip-dependencies

winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --skip-dependencies

[abionescu]

optionally you can skip dependency resolution
winget update Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --skip-dependencies

[Chasapple4]

A workaround until this dependency issue gets resolved is to try installing without the dependency by passing --skip-dependencies

winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --skip-dependencies

That will downgrade it to an older version than is already installed, WinGet is grabbing an older version as of when the issue was first opened

[yooakim]

I also have the reported issue, the dependency Microsoft.UI.Xaml fails to install.

This likely is not an issue with Windows Terminal but with the Microsoft.UI.Xaml winget package.

Using the winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --skip-dependencies as suggested by many works.

Try winget upgrade --id Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --skip-dependencies if winget install fails to grab the latest version.

I already have Windows.Terminal installed, doing an update I get an unknown error:

Same here - 0x80070002 : says "File not found"

Problably some dependency issues since https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.UI.Xaml/2.8.0 also cannot be installed.
Tried via download and direct install through package manager.
Seems ther is one unfullfilled dependency to Microsoft.Web.WebView2

Please check the dependencies so they work for all.

install from https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.18.3181.0
without using winget. It works for me.

Mee too! Thank you!

3 weeks later and a Microsoft tool still cannot install a Microsoft package due to a problem inside a Microsoft dependency.

[vayinapurapu]

I am getting the same issue when installing Windows Terminal Preview. The below steps worked for me
winget install Microsoft.UI.XAML.2.8
winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal.Preview.

[hueldoeu]

same problem here

somehow it got solved on it own.
