Good day, I am an IT professional and I truly enjoy your Youtube content for IT professionals. It is truly informative. My spirit glows when I see a new video. Thank you, and God bless.

For those that don't know. CLI tools are really sensitive to naming objects with "spaces".

When trying to name anything it's a good habit to use quotes i.e. "Windows Terminal Preview".

That will eliminate hours of confusion and troubleshooting. Most CLI options, arguments and parameters are provided in a command to the shell by following a space character so CMD and PowerShell doesn't realize the names of files and directories may also include spaces. Hope this helps

Awesome stuff! Thank you for making this video. Keep up the great work!

Thank you, and God bless. I learn very much

Thank you for this video. I have been trying to figure out which package manager I want to use, and after watching this video I think Winget is the one I'm going to use. Can I ask a question though? When you pulled up the list, there were some items that did not have anything in the source column. Does that mean that you cannot do anything with them through Winget? In that particular case those things would need to go directly to the manufacturer of that particular item in order to upgrade or uninstall correct?

Have you tried inverted commas for finding the package

I'm still none the wiser after countless winget videos on how to use this tool over the network reliably with a product like pdqinventory for example. Maybe 1 out of 3 work. Best solution I've found so far (which I don't like as I'd like it to be more on the fly and interactive) is to try and find a way to run it locally through either a scheduled task or copy script files out to the computers first for a local run (emulated)

I'm getting a "Installer has does not match" error when trying to install a couple apps. Hoping this video series helps me figure out what's wrong.

I think wrapping a name in quotes should work...it should be passing in a string while using name. I could be wrong. I still think that its better to use the id since its just 1 more step to get that id in the first place.
