Install failed in Windows Sandbox instance.

Also failed to install its dependencies (here choose Microsoft.Office).

You can try to use the below installer

winget.exe can only perform GET request to the server, just like curl.exe or wget.exe. It seems the download process is realized by using POST or other verbs.

The URL you provided seems navigate me to a special thank you page. And my multi-thread downloader automatically pops up asking for file download approval. Should I use it instead?

Oh, I didn't know that. I'm all new to this but lets try it and see if it works.

Both *.msi and *.exe of Google.GWSMO requires Microsoft Outlook (classic) desktop application pre-installed. But I can't install it inside Windows Sandbox instance.

Thats correct, office is pre requisite for the gwsmo app. Isn't there a workaround ? this is a genuine app from google and it would be great if we can get it on winget. Thanks.

Manually verified again and failed.

Isn't there a workaround ?

I think there's no walkaround.

In order to pass the validation pipeline, the package should be installed successfully without user interaction.

It's acceptable that a package requires external dependencies to launch and there're plenty of available dependencies (see package FabricMC.FabricInstaller #194923 as an example). Install of the package does not require them pre-installed. It just unable to launch AFTER installation.

Emm ... The URL seems invalid if winget.exe try to download the installer file through it.

Maybe it's only valid by visiting though a modern browser directly?

Thanks for trying, then we can ignore it in this case. Appreciate it
