This discussion was created from the release Windows Package Manager 1.11.320-preview.

Hey everyone, I had a couple of presentations at Build covering the experimental features for Microsoft Desired State Configuration and WinGet Configuration Export.

This is the version of WinGet I used, but there was some manual setup involved:

Two experimental features (dsc3 and configureExport) need to be enabled.

I was using DSC.exe (the packaged version of the 3.1 preview from the Microsoft Store), and I had to make sure the WinGet resource manifests were available on the path. I covered one way to do this in another comment.

If you run dsc resource list you should see the WinGet resources present.
