[Request]: Winget integration?

[upintheairsheep]

Tell us the problem or your need

Winget is an official open source package manager for Windows (and more importantly has an open source repository of apps), if you are aware. 2025 and 2026 will be a mass-migration of Windows users to Linux, and both tech-experts and old grandmas will use Linux, and by extension, Bottles. Winget integration would be pretty inviting to users to install new apps, even if it's just acting like some small app store that downloads the installers and runs them. A disclaimer that wine does not support everything should be added and Wine AppDB support should be considered.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add support for downloading installers from the WinGet repository (there are both exe/MSI installers which should run, and portable apps, while MSIX/AppX apps should be ignored), or run WinGet itself if possible (but Winget wouldn't be good). The wizard should then ask to run the installer with the command line via it's installation arguments, or do an interactive install.
