When Installing winget on Windows Sandbox the following error is given. Using the Powershell code provided. Only occured since the October 2024 Culmative Update on Windows 11 23H2.

I'm not able to find a download to Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop .

I am also experiencing this issue. It should be related to microsoft/winget-cli#4903 and microsoft/winget-cli#4916

Thanks for the links - the documented installation flow is still broken, but

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force | Out-Null
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force -Repository PSGallery | Out-Null
Repair-WinGetPackageManager -IncludePrerelease

works again
