Versions:
WingetCreate GUI 1.1, released by independent developer 7gxycn08, is an open-source front-end that wraps Microsoft’s WinGet Create command-line tool, giving Windows users a graphical workspace for authoring, validating, and submitting application manifests to the community repository without typing PowerShell commands. The utility is positioned in the Developer Tools / Package Management category and is aimed at maintainers who need to generate YAML manifests for the Windows Package Manager ecosystem, QA teams that want to verify package metadata before publication, and hobbyists experimenting with portable or MSI-based installers. Through a clean WinUI 3 interface, the program exposes every switch of the upstream wingetcreate.exe—manifest initialization, version increment, locale addition, installer hash calculation, and pull-request submission—while adding conveniences such as drag-and-drop installer detection, real-time schema validation, and one-click fork/branch creation on GitHub. Because it is an unofficial companion, WingetCreate GUI does not modify system directories; it simply orchestrates the official binaries in the background and writes temporary manifests to a user-selectable folder, making side-by-side operation with CLI workflows seamless. Version 1.1 represents the first and currently only public release, offering full compatibility with Windows 10 1903 and later on both x64 and arm64 architectures. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
