@D3strukt0r - Could you please provide more details about the installer file? It seems that the installer is interactive only. Currently the package repository does not support these kinds of package 😞

Note

Interactive-Only-Installer The package requires intearction to install. should be added to this issue.

VIVE Wireless > VIVE headset > SteamVR > Steam, it seems this package has a long dependency chain and may difficult to add it to the package index.

I don't remember there being a manual input when installing with the .exe, but I probably just forgot ...

Hmm, I see the issue, quite annoying. And I guess it's impossible to detect whether "SteamVR" is installed (I also don't know if "checking" is possible, since I just started using winget and don't know much yet)?

Checking could probably be done, if possible, with steamcmd (but I haven't gotten around to understand that utility), or path, or some other metadata I guess

All these checks are done by the installer itself. winget.exe cannot achieve such kinds of detection.

But we can make a walkaround - submit all packages on the chain into the package index and link them by the PackageDependency. winget.exe will check the ARP Table if they are already installed.

VIVE Wireless > VIVE headset > SteamVR > Steam, it seems this package has a long dependency chain and may difficult to add it to the package index.

The root dependency, Valve.Steam has a manifest in the repo. But the next item, Valve.SteamVR, appears to require login to download.

Some packages with multiple or commercial dependencies present a UI with this message, and we can validate those as being fully operational. But here, it appears that the package does not even launch without the full dependency chain being present.
