failed with exit code: 4294967295

[gsshaw]

I'm very appreciative of the development behind this script... It works very well, with few exception. This issue I'm experiencing *might be application-specific, but thought it worth posting, in case anyone has seen it before.
I'm running it on a machine on which the script has installed a few other apps successfully, without error, but attempting to install Postman.Postman, I'm getting error: failed with exit code: 4294967295

I first tried the script, only passing the app ID to it. (I get the same error/result)
My current command line looks like this:
./WinGet_Installer.ps1 -AppIDs "Postman.Postman --disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --force"

from the script output:
Successfully verified installer hash

You do realize that the command:
winget install Postman.Postman --disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --force
in any shell as user is the same as running from Powershell:
.\Winget-Install.ps1 -AppIDs "Postman.Postman --disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --force"
from WAU install folder as user?

Ah.. ..you're using the old standalone.. ..I noticed what repo it was now.
Install the latest WAU and use the Winget-Install.ps1 from that installation.
This repo is obsolete:
