Winget download link is broken

[benz738]

Hello,
I tried to install AIMP from winget, which is the Windows default package manager, that can be used to search & install applications from the terminal.

It's very handy as you can export all the installed applications in JSON file, and re-install them on another computer (or when you do a fresh windows install).

Searching AIMP I get these results:
winget search AIMP
Nome           Id                   Versione  Corrispondenza    Origine
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AIMP           9PCLLLH15SMT         Unknown                     msstore
AIMP           AIMP.AIMP            5.11.2429 ProductCode: aimp winget


Now, the first result (9PCLLLH15SMT) installs AIMP from Microsoft Store. The second link instead (AIMP.AIMP), downloads AIMP from the official website.

When I try to run `winget install AIMP.AIMP`, I get this result:

Download in corso https://aimp.ru/files/windows/builds/aimp_5.11.2429_w64.exe
25.1 KB
L'hash del programma di installazione non corrisponde.

(translated: the installation program has doesn't match)

If you try to open the link in the browser, it redirects you to aimp.ru, that's why it doesn't work.

Is it possible to fix this? Thanks

Thanks for the github repository, I can see there are many issues already opened about this topic, probably the maintainer is already aware of it, or the repository is abandoned.

Apparently it's blocked due to security issues (as this user says: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/205066#issuecomment-2568645116). Do you know what he is talking about?

While this is fixed, I think the best option is to download from the Microsoft Store. The downside is that requires to accept the licenses, so if you need to automate the process, some flags must be used to accept automatically (`winget install 9PCLLLH15SMT --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements`).



Bye

One key test is to ensure that all applications install without warnings on various popular antivirus configurations.

Just ESET behaves badly, nothing new: https://www.aimp.ru/forum/index.php?topic=67289.msg415106#msg415106

No. This is a bad solution. At the moment, there is no provision for installing centralized directories using automation tools. Only download from the official website.

Third-party repositories, one of which is winget, are maintained by users who do not always update or keep the information up to date.

The official Microsoft catalog is no longer updated - it has an old version, i.e. it does not contain corrections and improvements of the current version.

Short translation: The developer has given up publishing because Microsoft has tightened its requirements for developers.

5.11.2429

5.11.2429 is mid-release, we keep only actual version of all branches. Now, I've upload back 2429, so winget should work.

Поздно  В разделе старых версий не предоставлен, поэтому через мой запрос удалена запись.
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/a/AIMP/AIMP/
Остались: 5.02.2370, 5.03.2398, 5.10.2418.
Как написал ранее, любой желающий может отправить информационные файлы на модерацию, чтобы "синхронизировать" с доступными версиями на сайте.
На проверке 5.40.2669 три недели. Поэтому, снова, добавление файлов в каталог Microsoft зависит от их политики проверки.

Ну и ладно
