Winget cannot find the software to install.
Today I had a small problem with “winget”, it would not find and install the software. I tested different programmes, the same error everywhere.
PS C:\Users\andyd> winget install –id=WinSCP.WinSCP -e
Error when trying to update the source: winget
Unexpected error when executing the command:
Download request status is not success.
0x80190194 : Not found (404).
Solution: Update the package sources
The solution was simple. Similar to Linux, the package sources should be updated from time to time. The following command is available for this:
winget source update
The download and installation then worked.
