[Feature Requests] Windows IoT LTSC: generic key, winget installation

[Onxr]

I have seen your comment here in the thread. The website has generic key for others except IoT or LTSC versions. I found these two keys and currently using the option Enter another product key to enter the keys.

• IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021: QPM6N-7J2WJ-P88HH-P3YRH-YY74H
• IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024: CGK42-GYN6Y-VD22B-BX98W-J8JXD
  Can you add these in generic key option ?

winget is pretty useful but it doesn't come pre-installed with IoT LTSC versions. Is it possible to install it with the unattended.xml file ?
The official installation method also didn't work as it was missing dependency in the documentation. Current working method is the following one

• Go to here and paste the link https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh4nns1?hl=en-US&gl=US
• Find (Ctrl+f) x64 for x64 architecture host
• Get all the files ends with appx & one msix. Example:
  • Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8_8.2501.31001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx
  • Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.33728.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx
  • Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.33519.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx
  • Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.8_8000.675.1142.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.msix
• Install all the files one by one, by going to the download directory and using Add-AppxPackage ./<file>
• Get the latest release for winget-cli but not pre-release. Example
  • License: e53e159d00e04f729cc2180cffd1c02e_License1.xml
  • Application: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle
• Installation
  • Application: Add-AppxPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle
  • License: Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle -LicensePath e53e159d00e04f729cc2180cffd1c02e_License1.xml

The thing is I am not familiar with powershell and tools that come pre-installed with windows. So IDK how can I make it a script ? The site that generates link I am not sure but I think it will change after a while which means can't be hardcoded download links for dependencies either. Is there a way to make it work other than opening MS-Edge ?
With winget we don't have to touch edge and can get a large collection of software without hunting for executables online.

• While looking for unattended.xml generator I found the project called Winhance. This one requires an Windows host and install the app there unlike yours where I can generate using any host. I am mentioning this because that one has more options like privacy, telemetry and other settings. Are you planning to add those kind of features in future ?
• Another thing I found your generator very helpful. Do you have any plan to do this for for Linux distros ?
  • Debian preseed
  • RHEL/fedora kickstart

BTW thanks a lot for this, it already has enough to get things done.
