is it possible to pass the custom, scope or local parameters to winget install when using Microsoft.Winget.DSC/WingetPackage resource

[tristanbarcelon]

When using winget cli to install packages, it is possible to use the custom, scope or location parameters to provide custom installation parameters or instruct winget cli to pick a properly scoped installer or confine the application installation to a specific folder. The latter is especially useful for applications that consume a lot of disk space over time, such as Visual Studio or SQL Server. SQLServerDSC exposes multiple parameters for install folders while VisualStudio does not.

If I wanted to install machine scoped versions of PowerToys or VisualStudioCode, how can I achieve them using Microsoft.Winget.DSC/WingetPackage resource in order to specify machine scope?

what worked for me with VSCodium is to use winget settings and then configure preferred scope to machine. See https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/blob/master/doc/Settings.md#scope

Unfortunately I did not yet figure out how to pass custom arguments to make it add the context menu entries

Not yet, we've captured the work to support the additional CLI arguments with:
