I found out that different winget.exe versions behaves differently, some apps are not installed and some are. So including source files together with the app package is a bad solution because eventually they will become obsolete. So, what is the best way to include Winget into fresh installed Windows OS? Because it isn't there yet.
winget is not recognized as the name of cmdlet

If I try to execute winget as admin, I will get error saying "winget is not recognized as the name of cmdlet" This is seeing on any Windows 11 computer. I already checked variable below. Is the any way to archive this? Because Intune new Store does not contain all apps yet, I am scripting some packages do get installed via WinGet. Application would work if User Context is used, but not with System context.
This problem is seeing only in Windows 11, Windows 10 does not have this problem. Also App Installer from Store is installed, it does not make any difference.

A newer version was found, but the install technology is different from the current version installed. Please uninstall the package and install the newer version.
So I installed the Windows Package Manager Source, it said "Uninstalled", but I am still getting the above message.
