Kaligula0 · 2024-04-22T00:24:19Z

How can we help?

I would like someone else to build the manifest.

Please read and ensure the following

The installer meets the above requirements

Please provide the following information

Download Page Url: https://files.community/download
Publisher: Files Community
Package Name: Files
Description: The ultimate, free, open-source file manager app for Windows
Package Version: 3.3
Installer URL: https://cdn.files.community/files/download/Files.Stable.exe (available also via MS Store)

Source code on GitHub https://github.com/files-community/Files

Kaligula0 · 2024-04-22T00:35:41Z

I wanted to cross-post to https://github.com/files-community/Files and found a closed issue files-community/Files#8653 pointing to closed PR here #146185

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-22T01:22:02Z

I attempted this in #150392 it fails with no error given. Local install seem like it doesn't even try download the installer before opening. immediately shows exit code: 0x80070570 : The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

Given it's already on the MS Store, it can also be installed with winget install 9nghp3dx8hdx

Beneficial as I believe they have a github workflow which uploads new versions to the MSStore anyway.

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-22T13:31:31Z

Files on the store is paid where as there are the free options and preview builds would also not be on the store

This was closed because we couldn't find silent installer switches. Do you know how to install this without user interaction?

vikingnope · 2024-04-22T14:51:58Z

@stephengillie, this is the only otherway:

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-22T14:53:11Z

The offline installers are msixbundles (The one I linked above) which should work silently, what the original one used was the user installer

Kaligula0 · 2024-04-22T14:53:39Z

This was closed because we couldn't find silent installer switches. Do you know how to install this without user interaction?

No, I just learned about winget few days ago (and fell in love with), and found Files yesterday. So, naturally, I checked if Files are available via winget. I didn't find it, so posted here.

vikingnope · 2024-04-22T14:55:02Z

It is not silent:

The offline installers are msixbundles (The one I linked above) which should work silently, what the original one used was the user installer

stephengillie · 2024-04-22T14:55:46Z

Edit: I misunderstood your post at first.

Thanks for checking them.

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-22T14:56:57Z

Is that shown when using Winget? Because that interface is just app installer the default open app for them.

vikingnope · 2024-04-22T14:57:06Z

The only other way is to run the command present above but I do not know how we can implement that into winget

Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile https://cdn.files.community/files/stable/Files.Package.appinstaller

vikingnope · 2024-04-22T14:59:35Z

Is that shown when using Winget? Because that interface is just app installer the default open app for them.

Winget does not support interactive installers (a.k.a installers where you need to press buttons), it only supports one's where everything can be done without any interactions from the user.

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-22T15:00:06Z

Right now the issue I'm facing is trying to get it to install the dependencies. Winget doesn't seem to find the package family Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.5_8wekyb3d8bbwe, would this have to be a separate manifest on winget or can I add the below URL to the depencides section?

https://cdn.files.community/files/stable/Files.Package_3.3.0.0_Stable_Test/Dependencies/x64/Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.5.msix

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-22T15:02:04Z

Winget does not support interactive installers (a.k.a installers where you need to press buttons), it only supports one's where everything can be done without any interactions from the user.

msixbundles should work silently if installed via command line. The interface your seeing is what shows when opening the file like a user. Did you also see it when trying to install from Winget using your manifest file?

vikingnope · 2024-04-22T15:02:59Z

Do you know how to implement the command into a winget manifest?

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-22T15:08:15Z

I would assume it would do itself when downloaded. Right now it reports failing at installing the dependency so it seem it did attempt it correctly but I can't be sure until I can figure out adding where to get the dependency from.

vikingnope · 2024-04-22T15:17:52Z

Ah yes I see the issue from my past PR, creating a pull request soon

vikingnope · 2024-04-22T16:20:05Z

@Josh65-2201, does the package have any other dependencies than the Windows App SDK 1.5?

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-22T16:23:31Z

No

vikingnope · 2024-04-22T16:32:05Z

Hmm that's weird:

I installed the package separately just to make sure and it still did not work

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-22T16:34:56Z

@yaira2 The only dependency of Files is WinAppSDK 1.5 right?

Kaligula0 · 2024-04-22T16:36:37Z

(Maybe it's connected with the problems I also have trying to upgrade WinAppSDK 1.5? Although I use WingetUI, but it shows an update available but cannot update it.)

BiosPlus · 2024-04-23T08:41:14Z

If we crack open the .appinstaller package on their site with something like notepad or vscode, we'll find this for dependancies 😉

Edit: Made some suggestions in over here: #150504

vikingnope · 2024-04-23T09:41:28Z

Hi @BiosPlus, I cannot see any suggestions

BiosPlus · 2024-04-23T09:59:32Z

Interesting @vikingnope, here they are for context.
Pretty much adding a dupe of the installer and making one arm64, and the other is adding a dependancy.

vikingnope · 2024-04-23T10:26:12Z

@BiosPlus, seems to have some other dependencies other than those 2:

stephengillie · 2024-04-23T17:59:50Z

It appears that dependency Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.5 doesn't completely install, and might be a nested installer mislabeled as a normal installer with an alias. #150504 (comment)

Josh65-2201 · 2024-04-27T16:43:23Z

When Files is on Winget there is also the preview version that can be added. The name should show as Files - Preview. Link for it is below

Hi, any updates on this?

vikingnope · 2024-07-09T15:03:36Z

Sadly no

Dragon1573 · 2024-08-07T13:47:10Z

There's a "classic installer" of the stable edition. Is it help?

vikingnope · 2024-08-07T13:53:30Z

No it does not help since it is only an interactive installer.

microsoft-github-policy-service · 2024-08-27T15:46:49Z

Hello @Kaligula0,

This package appears to require user interaction to install.

This package is blocked until support for interactive installer search filtering is implemented in:
