The easiest thing is currently to use the "predeploy" package of Microsoft Terminal which comes with similar prereqs installing these and then continueing with winget msix.

@Karl-WE I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but why not provide a link to the said "predeploy" package? And yes, I did Google. And did find various different pieces of software that could be considered relevant. None were called "predeploy" package for MS Terminal.
Hi had winget working for a while on Server 2019. I installed the different packages manually. At some point recently winget stopped working. I tried the non-Chocately script above. It seemed to run currently. Getting when I run winget:
Program 'winget.exe' failed to run: The file cannot be accessed by the systemAt line:1 char:1
- winget upgrade --all
-

@cheema-corellian understand your point. No worries.
Head to Microsoft Terminal releases >Release Version
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases
Use the files from the preinstall kit they contain files also required for winget.
These can be installed on Windows Server 2019/2022 (unsupported), Windows Server 2025 has winget inbox.
Example
Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.19.10302.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle_Windows10_PreinstallKit.zip
One can argue that by today some prerequisites are available for download via public webpage, offered by Microsoft like vc redist msix packages.
The hardest part is certainly to get the the package manager running that's a requirement for winget and MSIX.
@garzamSEA If you are still struggling, this is the easiest way to get WinGet installed on Server 2019 or 2022:

Good luck!
You need to use the latest version of .UI.Xaml for this to work now

you might want to use start-bitstransfer instead of invoke-webrequest for better performance.
i am currently working on a "side quest" to enable a customer with Windows Server 2022 and winget and so far the best automation experience for this unsupported scenario is undoubtly this project:

not sure if all of this is really required. Can you check your approach with the one done with the linked GitHub @cquresphere
The most recent versions of powershell don't work well with .DownloadFile() so I had to resort to 'Invoke-WebRequest'

As of Oct 3rd, 2024, none of the scripts on this page work for me. However, the github link provided by @Karl-WE https://github.com/asheroto/winget-install does work. I had to use the "winget-install -Force" option after installing the nuget package in method 1.
The link provided by @Karl-WE is really good, but I recently added some adjustments due to some errors.
To handle them I use these two lines:
Add-AppxPackage -RegisterByFamilyName -MainPackage Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Add-AppPackage -path "https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix."
Thanks @DaveidWeba. In one OS (Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard), I used the version with chocolatey and also the scripts linked to TAKEOWN and ICACLS, but when running winget command an error came indicating that VCRUNTIME140.DLL and MSVCP140.DLL were not found. Then I downloaded and installed the both x86 and x64 versions of the libs vc_redis : x86 && x64 and all running well now.
