.SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
This Script is used as a target for the https://christitus.com/windev alias.
|
||
|
|
It queries the latest winget release (no matter if Pre-Release, Draft or Full Release) and invokes It
|
||
|
|
.DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
This Script provides a simple way to always start the bleeding edge release even if it's not yet a full release.
|
||
|
|
This function should be run with administrative privileges.
|
||
|
|
Because this way of recursively invoking scripts via Invoke-Expression it might very well happen that AV Programs flag this because it's a common way of mulitstage exploits to run
|
||
|
|
.EXAMPLE
|
||
|
|
irm https://christitus.com/windev | iex
|
||
|
|
OR
|
||
|
|
Run in Admin Powershell > ./windev.ps1
