Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
We have been using winget-create quite a while successfully inside github-actions on windows runners. But for some reason it's now failing, because the windows runners have been updated with latest dotnet versions.
Dear Microsoft please solve this issue internally. You own github-actions + winget-create...
There is another ticket on the GHA runners: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/12158 which was closed because of this outdated dependency.
We do like winget a lot more than Chocolatey, it's really nice and simple to use... But if we can't create our packages anymore...
Proposed technical implementation details
- Update winget-create and use latest (supported) versions of the dependencies.
- Add winget-create to the standard GHA windows runners. (https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/12158)

Done means winget-create uses supported dependency versions and is available on standard GitHub Actions Windows runners.
