Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Some packages may be available as a portable exe, an installer, or an appx inside of a NuGet package. Fundamentally, a NuGet Package is a ZIP file with a .nupack or .nupkg. Therefore, supporting nuget as an archive type should be trivial, as the framework for installing ZIP files should be compatible
