Spotify does not install elevated.
Please update your WinGet Client so it respects the ElevationRequirement field.

ElevationRequirement: elevationProhibited

lackovic · 2022-10-15T08:43:58Z

Thanks! I ran the command in a non-admin shell and it worked!

Spotify does not install elevated.

Would it be possible to change the error message to reflect that?

OfficialEsco · 2022-10-16T09:38:08Z

Spotify does not install elevated.

Would it be possible to change the error message to reflect that?

If you update WinGet to the latest release (1.3) you'll get a error message that reflects that.

lackovic · 2022-10-16T14:42:51Z

If you update WinGet to the latest release (1.3)

Do you know a way how to do that? I looked in the project README and googled it but didn't find anything.

OfficialEsco · 2022-10-16T14:49:28Z

Microsoft Store -> Update App Installer. https://www.microsoft.com/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1
To manually install or update a version of WinGet you can download the msixbundle from the GitHub Releases.
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/tag/v1.3.2691

It is the same as the Installation in the README.

lackovic · 2022-10-16T16:38:17Z

Microsoft Store -> Update App Installer. https://www.microsoft.com/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1

Thanks! I had installed the App Installer with:

winget install "App Installer" -s msstore

which I found from this issue, but winget did not get updated until I opened the Store App on the App Installer page which in turn started to update itself automatically. I now have Windows Package Manager v1.3.2691 👍

Trenly · 2022-11-05T04:34:34Z

Close with reason: Newer version of winget displays better error message, user issue resolved;

Trollwut · 2023-01-29T14:25:52Z

Did this change in the recent version? I inly get the error code 23 and not an description that it fails beause elevation issues.

Of course, I can update as intended in an non-elevated shell.

Weird, i cannot replicate your issue..

I haven't tested it, but could it have something to do with winget upgrade --all? Perhaps the behavior is different compared to winget upgrade Spotify.Spotify

Trollwut · 2023-01-29T15:38:59Z

That could be it.

I already updated the software non-elevated, so I have to wait for the next upgrade to see if this would be it.

ImJoakim · 2023-01-29T16:23:26Z

It seems that way. Running winget upgrade Spotify.Spotify in an elevated PowerShell window does not work - it respects the ElevationRequirement field.

PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount> winget upgrade

However, running winget upgrade --all in an elevated PowerShell window does work and does not respect the ElevationRequirement field it seems.

I forgot about this and have tried to upgrade Spotify in an elevated shell.
However I didn't get the message to reflect that, just a Installer failed with exit code: 23.

Spotify had the "prohibitsElevation" key which gave the user a message that it didn't work elevated. Unfortunately, we have had to do a bunch of gymnastics in our validation environment to switch to a "user" context for the install. Work is in progress.

Additionally, I've added a feature to add it to the expected return codes enumeration so that error can also be mapped when the key isn't present. The community removed the key to enable it to pass validation.

Add your 👍 to raise priority.

Additional Expected Return Codes winget-cli#2870

felipog · 2023-03-17T14:05:01Z

Hello! So I was also having the issues for installing via winget.
Then I first removed the pre-installed version that came with Windows 11 , just right click on the app on the Windows menu, and unisntall. Then, winget install spotify.spotify worked. So it needs admin rights for replacing probably.

Cheers

I haven't tested it, but could it have something to do with winget upgrade --all? Perhaps the behavior is different compared to winget upgrade Spotify.Spotify

@ImJoakim Yes that's the exact problem, as you verified later.
It seems that winget upgrade --all ignores the ElevationRequirement, tries to install, then reports a generic Installer failed with exit code: 23.

@denelon if it can be of help for the "switch to user context", the gerardog/gsudo tool can do it with the integrity flag:

gsudo --integrity Medium -- any command /and /arguments
# for example
gsudo --integrity Medium -- winget upgrade spotify.spotify

this will "de-elevate" any given command (i haven't actually tried it with spotify because i have already updated spotify at this point).
I'll let you guys judge if it can be useful

esters · 2023-05-12T06:04:40Z

Morning. I had the same issue but the reason was that Spotify was running in the background. After exiting it and running winget upgrade Spotify.Spotify from an non-elevated shell it upgraded without issues.

Same thing for me, this morning.
As i wrote last time, without using a new shell, via gsudo it's possible to de-elevate.
I even tried a clean install in an elevated shell:

C:\Windows\System32 (errorlevel -1978335210) # winget install spotify.spotify
The installer cannot be run from an administrator context.

C:\Windows\System32 (errorlevel -1978335146) # gsudo --direct --integrity medium -- winget install spotify.spotify

Still happening on Winget v1.5.2201, the current release as of today. Non elevated it works fine.

As per @denelon previous comment, this problem (the uninformative error message Installer failed with exit code: 23) will not be solved until the following issue will be resolved:
