Description
Brief description of your issue
Knowing that dsc3 is in experimental support phase, I was looking to get a working example. Unfortuntately, I'm stuck on the following step. These are what I'm following. In the settings.json I have the following:
{
"$schema": "https://aka.ms/winget-settings.schema.json",
"experimentalFeatures": {
"configureSelfElevate": true,
"dsc3": true
}
}
I'm running version: v1.11.190-preview. I'm feeding the following example.winget.dsc.resource.yaml file:
$schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/main/schemas/2023/08/config/document.json
metadata:
winget:
processor: dscv3
resources:
- name: Registry
type: Microsoft.Windows/Registry
metadata:
description: Registry
properties:
keyPath: HKCU\1\2\3
This throws the following error message: 0x80131509 : unknown error. Looking further in the log file:
