Do you have any other devices with non-ASRock baseboard? Could you please check if this baseboard is required for running ASRock.AppShop?

from winget-pkgs.

Currently, the PR mentioned above pass the automatic validation. Moderators of this repository will perform manual validation with this package on Azure VMs.

Currently no responses from them. Patience are needed.

@RokeJulianLockhart, the hardware requirements is proved. I think we can closed this issue as "not planned".

@Dragon1573, are you using an ASRock motherboard? I've not had that error, but I am using one:

@Dragon1573, are you using an ASRock motherboard?

Nope ... None of my device use this motherboard.

Is ASRock motherboard required? If it is, the issue should be closed as not planned because it will never pass the validation pipelines hosted on Microsoft Azure.

Issue should be marked with Blocking-Issue Manifest validation is blocked by a known issue. and Hardware Specific hardware is required to install or validate this package .

@Dragon1573, I don't know whether it does necessitate that - it was an estimate. However, this is a quite important vendor firmware updater, so it should probably be considered based upon the fact that the motherboard itself prompts the user to install it the moment that Windows is first configured - it solely being available from their website is going to cause people to accidentally install malware from similar websites higher in Google's search rankings.

@Dragon1573, I think you quite severely underestimate what would be bureaucratically necessary to integrate this into Windows, and why that would be wholly undesirable - generally the more modular an OS, the better. Irrespective, that shan't occur.

I do have another device with the exact same baseboard, and it indeed installs, but why do you ask - what does that demonstrate?

from winget-pkgs.

Could you launch App Shop on that non-ASRock baseboard?

I do able to submit a manifest for this package, but I think it will mostly fail during validation.

@stephengillie , this package seems hard depends on a specific hardware (baseboard), how can we dig deeper? 🙏

I created a manifest and validated with Tools/SandboxTest.ps1, it can be successfully installed but unable to launch. Should we reject this package?

@Dragon1573, I've no non-ASRock baseboard to evaluate this on. Is there no way to perform manual validation? I ask because I've recently seen myriad reports of users falling for phishing URIs when attempting to download the installer for this package (it's a fault of ASRock's hideous SEO and bad website design) so having it on WinGet would make it easier for me to recommend it.
