Solved New versions of UnigetUI (Formerly WingetUI )


Really? It surely was not my intent at all.
I am very happy for Marti .
I chatted with him a few times when he was trying to implement his program as a UWP.
He was always very receptive and kind.

Ok, well that's good to know.

Ok, well that's good to know.
This is why I thought his app deserved its own thread on this site.
Now that Marti is no longer there, this thread is for sale. 💲💲💲

Is UnigetUI the only packaging software out there that does this sort of thing?

Aren't there any alternatives?

I do not want to go back to bad old repetitious days of having to update each app I have manually.

Nor am I gonna pay a subscription for it, either

~



That's what happens with one-man shops. I've seen it happen before. Guy develops something, it gets wildly successful, then he gets in over his head and has to do a sell-off.

Corporation then offers it for free for awhile, then when you get people hooked in on it, BINGO! It's pay-up time. Some will do it. Others will vote with their feet and move elsewhere.

It's an old and typical story.

Nothing is preventing anyone to carry on using the current and future versions.
If it turns to payware, the free version will still work, just like Macrium 8.

I lost track of this project, but I just went back and read the recent things from @OAT. It's still MIT licensed, so hopefully someone forks it and keeps it nice for the home user. When they start saying things like "a roadmap for broader enterprise readiness," it's gonna get really turdy, really quickly.

Well I did use 2026.2.1.0 today and it seems to be working just fine so far. The GUI has changed and now looks like this:

To me the UI improvements like consistency are more important than other improvements. The older UI sometimes drove me crazy
