I have this installed https://github.com/jazzdelightsme/WingetPathUpdater
I think that the problem is caused by your powershell itself,
this section ((& $WingetCmd -v) launches the process which might get those two startInfo paramenters set to anything else than $null
- StandardErrorEncoding
- StandardOutputEncoding
.. and for some reason powershell 7 may not like it.
With legacy approach using [System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo] and [System.Diagnostics.Process] I did not see such errors.
| Parameter | value |
|---|---|
| RedirectStandardInput | False |
| RedirectStandardOutput | True |
| RedirectStandardError | True |
| StandardInputEncoding | |
| StandardErrorEncoding | |
| StandardOutputEncoding |
I will propose an alternative to existing output capture method used currently in 'Update-WinGet.ps1'
keep in mind that you use a preview version of winget.
With the latest stable version, i no longer have this error, but this can change when WAU will update winget to the next preview version.
Maybe skip updating winget if their file in error contains -preview (or what it is called)?
thanks for reporting. We will have a look on that.
Since this problem is disappeared with latest versions, this can be closed for now.
