Find WinGet Packages in FileWave Central

What

FileWave Central can search the WinGet repository and create a Windows Fileset from the package you select.

Before you create the Fileset

Find and select a package

1. In FileWave Central, open Filesets and select New Desktop Fileset, then choose WinGet.

2. In Search Winget, enter the application name.
3. Compare Package Name, Package Identifier, and Publisher, then select the intended result. In the example, Notepad++ uses package identifier Notepad++.Notepad++.

4. Select Create Fileset. Review the new Fileset's package details and deployment settings before assigning it to devices.
