Description

Package Requested
  • I would like someone else to build the manifest.
  • I would like help so I can submit the manifest.
  • I have performed a search and couldn't find this package.
  • I have checked that the installer for this package is not a standalone or portable executable or a .zip file
  • I think there is a new version available and I have provided the URL.
Please provide the following information

Publisher: Microsoft
Publisher Url: Not known
Package Name: Visual Basic for Applications 7.1
Description: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/concepts/getting-started/64-bit-visual-basic-for-applications-overview
Package Version: 7.1
Installer URL: not known

Current Package Identifier (for new versions):

This app and his languagefiles are bundled and delivered by several Application. It's strange but I'm not able to find a downloadpage for this. Only older Version e.g. hotfixes for 6.4 could be found. It would be nice if this app appear in winget list and could also be installed by winget.
Sorry for the lack of information. May you have more information and may better knowledge about such Microsoft apps.

Research direction

Start with the linked Microsoft VBA 7.1 description and verify whether an official installer or distributable exists; the issue currently provides no installer URL and says VBA is bundled with other applications. Confirm that the package can be distributed independently, then determine the manifest details needed for winget-pkgs. Done means an installable, valid manifest can be submitted.
