WinGet CLI
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Among the programs it would have benefitted, are at least a handful of official Microsoft programs, including:
- https://github.com/microsoft/MSLab/releases
- https://github.com/microsoft/osconfig/releases/tag/tools
- https://github.com/microsoft/secureboot_objects/releases
- https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=102905

Proposed technical implementation details
Allow the use of .cab files in InstallerUrl-s, in much the same way as what is the case at the time of writing with .exe/.msi/.msix/.appx/.msixbundle/.appxbundle/.zip.

Research direction
Start with the WinGet CLI's handling of InstallerUrl values and reconcile the title's request for .ps1 support with the proposed implementation's request for .cab support. Done means the intended extension is accepted for manifests in the same way as the currently supported installer types, with coverage in the relevant validation tests.
