<p>For those who build packages for Windows. We received this
request on sword-support. It sounds interesting.<br>

<div>I had a catastrophic fail on Windows resulting in a
fully reset operating system recently. I looked for some
"newer" option for installations and there was an option
called winget in powershell 7, and likely earlier(You can
disable powershell 2, uninstall the microsoft store
powershell 5 and just use powershell 7 and winget - <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://winstall.app/">https://winstall.app/</a>
). It's amazing. I installed all the software I could
through winget, and I have found software dependencies
update through winget easily(including dependencies from
software installed by Steam).</div>
<p>However, I also found that very little Bible software is
using winget which is why I'm requesting this. There's
BPBible, which requires additions separately downloaded
through a web browser and Logos 9. Other than than,
there's nothing Bible there. There's not even Bible memory
apps.</p>
