There is no way to execute a PowerShell script from the Winget configuration file with the Dev Home

[MirolimMajidov]

Dev Home version

0.301.198.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621.2134

Other software

OS Build Version: 10.0.22621.2134.amd64fre.ni_release.220506-1250
.NET Version: .NET 6.0.18

Steps to reproduce the bug

I'm using the WinGet configuration for installing some necessary applications with components by creating a YAML file and using that from the Dev Home. I did all of them except the SQL Server features. I'm able to install the SQL server, but I could not enable (Install) the "Full-text search" and "FileStream" features of the SQL Server.

And also I am planning to do a lot of custom logic to customize and configurate a necessary applications. I hope this should be possible with a PowerShell script, but I did find anything to being able to execute a PowerShell script from the winget configuration file.

Expected result

There is should be way to being able to execute a PowerShell script from the winget configuration file and use that from the DevHome

Actual result

There is no way to do that

Copying my response on the linked issue here:

There is a DSC Script Resource. The primary thing to be cautious of is to make sure your script is idempotent so it can be run multiple times without causing a failure or other unintended side effects.
