Winget on Server 2019

As I wrote in the blog "Winget on Server 2022", there is a reason why we can't use Winget.exe with Server 2019. Winget is started from the command line and support for it is missing in Server 2019. The situation has changed and we have a solution.
Winget, similar to "aptget" on Linux, allows a significant number of Applications can be installed with simple commands from the command line. A description of Winget can be found here:

The Winget installation package Winget is a part of the AppInstaller package with which AppX and MSIX packages can be installed at the click of a button. In the Microsoft Store you can find the package can be found here (pay attention to the release here, possibly use Insider):

Furthermore you can find the package Windows Package Manager in the GitHub repository. Manager, which can be installed manually and also includes Winget:

This is all a bit confusing from a purely linguistic point of view. The key thing is that we need an easy command line tool that we can use to automatically install applications from many manufacturers in an automated way. It would now of course be nice to use this Tool, also for Server 2019 to be able to use. 

My friend Thorsten Butz (you can also find a session of PSUGH there as a recording) figured out two things:

The 1.x release for Winget (from Microsoft) has been published. A small command line tool, which can be used to install thousands of applications quickly. can be installed quickly. There are he many blog articles, how to install Winget for Windows 10 (in beta). Unfortunately however, no article on how to make it work on a Windows Server. Basically everything can be installed on Server 2019 after, what is available for Windows 10. We just need to "extract" the Appx and MSIX files for this. Files from the store "extract". With Winget, unfortunately, there was the limitation, that the command line is not yet supported in Server 2019 due to build 1809. is supported. For Server 2022 it's different and when in the last days we installed one of one of the first ISO images of Server 2022 the idea came up right away, Winget there to test and write a short tutorial if it works.
The Winget tool is included in the preview version or insider version of Windows App Installer. We need to install an insider version of App Installer to be able to use be able to use Winget. In this procedure it is mandatory to use Microsoftstore is necessary, which we cannot easily use on Windows Server.

Starting MSIX and AppX Applications with PowerShell from the command line

Microsoft Store applications (or Modern Applications) have now become standard on the desktop. Many users don't want to limit themselves any more and so the calculator on the terminal server should look exactly like the calculator on their own Windows 10 desktop. Sometimes you want to use your own "launcher" for an application. For example to start a script with the start of the application to import registry keys or connect network drives.For Microsoft Store applications (or Modern Applications) have now become standard on the desktop.
