## Overview

winget-install is an administrator-run PowerShell installer for WinGet. The documented workflow checks Windows and processor compatibility, then installs through either the standard PowerShell Gallery repair path or a Server 2019-specific package path, followed by command registration. The README documents these capabilities, but no script source was sampled, so the graph represents documented responsibilities and omits uncertain internal call wiring.

Main entry points: [`winget-install.ps1`](https://github.com/asheroto/winget-install/blob/master/winget-install.ps1) (Installer script)
