XYPlorer via WinGet (UniGetUI)

[Vocalpoint]

Been using UniGetUi now for over 6 months to handle quick Winget based installs - but for reasons that continue to baffle me - XYPlorer - which is definitely part of the WinGet world - always fails when I attempt to install it.

Here is the latest operations log (via UniGetUI 2026.2.7) - for an attempt to install v28.30.1800 - into a clean Windows 11 25H2 VM:

XYplorer could not be installed

Anyone have any idea what is going on here?

I assume that Don must be involved in prepping/submitting the package to GitHub for inclusion into WinGet?

Appreciate any insights.

Sorry, I have nothing to do with that. I don't know who submitted that package.
