.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 | ||
