Add Visual Studio Code System Wide Installer Package

[mhm13dev]

I am tagging @lszomoru because he is maintaining the VS Code Package.

As we have packages for VisualStudioCode and VisualStudioCodeInsiders but they both are the user installers. I want you to please add a System wide installer for both of these packages.

Package Requested

Manifest: VisualStudioCodeSystem

Fill out as much of the manifest as you can:

Id: string # Microsoft.VisualStudioCodeSystem
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
Name: Visual Studio Code - System Installer
Version: 1.48.1.3dd905126b
License: Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation
InstallerType: string # enumeration of supported installer types (exe, msi, msix, inno, wix, nullsoft, appx)
Installers:
  - Arch: string # enumeration of supported architectures
    Url: string # path to download installation file
    Sha256: string # SHA256 calculated from installer
# ManifestVersion: 0.1.0

Gonna add it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Edit: @mhm13dev Done it. 🥂

Thanks for tagging me. Publishing the winget package is done though our release pipeline so rather than adding these packages manually, let me update our release pipeline to start publishing the system packages as well. I have filed an issue in the vscode repo to complete this work - microsoft/vscode#105307.

@lszomoru If that's the case, probably my manual pr rejected. I'm gonna close my own pr. Thanks for hard work! 🥂

I think we're going to need microsoft/winget-cli#149 to be able to have "both" types of installers available.

[lszomoru]

We actually have two separate setup packages for System/User so the current plan is to start publishing the manifest for the system setup along with the user setup. It is on our backlog and I hope to get to it in the month of November. Apologies for the delay.

@lszomoru is there any update on the status of the system wide installer?

[lszomoru]

@alec-hs, apologies for the delay on this one. I will try to tackle this one next week.

[lszomoru]

I have updated our release pipeline and now we are publishing User/System installers for x86 and x64.
Please run winget search vscode to see the available packages. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

[alec-hs]

Just tested - seems all good. Thanks for the quick turn around!

[denelon]

We're working on microsoft/winget-cli#149 User vs. System. Once that's in place, Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Code Insiders can go back to being a single package with multiple installers (I hope 😄). We will need to do some local testing to make sure things are correctly supported.

[lszomoru]

@denelon, I believe that his issue has been resolved and it can be closed. Thanks!

I just tried and it installed as user scope instead of system-wide.
ver: 1.65.2

I just tried and it installed as user scope instead of system-wide. ver: 1.65.2

Run winget install Microsoft.VisualStudioCode --scope machine

For more info on what parameters you can pass to the winget install command, you can do winget install -?:

it still just installs it as user scope, i've verified the url and it's the same with and without --scope machine
