### UniGetUI Version

UniGetUI Version 2026.2.7

### Windows version, edition, and architecture

Microsoft Windows 11 Pro [version 10.0.26200.9168]

### Describe your issue

As unigetui is using internal pinget.exe no winget.exe seems existing in the path. I tried reinstalling unigetui, reinstalling winget package... no resolution.
So i looked for the new winget.exe path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.29.290.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
and fixed the path in engine properties in unigetui instead of pinget.exe.
Everything came back as before...
So i seek explanations and advices on the best way of maintaining winget engine:
- Is pinget.exe needs configuration to stick to winget behaviour?
- Do i need to keep using winget.exe as i started with?
- What type of winget.exe is official, app or classic?
Bests Regards,
Gilles

Microsoft Windows 11 Pro [version 10.0.26200.9168]
