Try this as a workaround
Thanks - everything I could find said you can’t do it for Community edition - but that didn’t work. Is there a particualr directory I need to be in or something?
There’s a good thread here about that error here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/3068
Looks like it’s either an old version or the cache is corrupted. Theres serveral fixes to try in there.
Can you install anything in Winget?
This is the first time I’ve ever used Winget. I’ll have a read through the thread and try some things out, and let you know how I go. Thanks!
Woo hoo! I got it to work. I needed to run it in powershell as admin, and the Id needed to be in quotes, and it worked! I now have 17.8.0 installed, and deployment to my API 28 Android emulator is working - I can actually start developing on my new computer now. :-) Thank you so much for your help!
Ah that’s amazing mate 😁 Happy coding. Hopefully they get the issue resolved soon.
P.S. Would I need to uninstall Visual Studio first?
Not sure. But I likely would
BTW I tried without uninstalling first to see what would happen, and in essence it went “there’s already an installation, checking for upgrades, there are no upgrades available, doing nothing”, so looks like you could do it if upgrading, but doesn’t work for downgrading - have to start fresh for a downgrade.
