Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I'd like to be able to use WinGet on Windows IoT devices.
We received a report that WinGet doesn't work on Windows IoT.
It may be possible to install WinGet via App Installer and dependencies, but my current understanding is that the Microsoft Store is not available on IoT.
As of now, I would say that Windows IoT is not supported, and we will need to further investigate if this is even possible.
