@jaymeanchante :
Thanks for reporting this!

The PowerShell script logs should provide more detailed information about the error. I’ll update the README and open an issue to document where those logs are located, so it's easier to track down problems like this in the future.

In the meantime, you can try running the script manually in PowerShell to see the full error output. Based on the message you shared, the command would look like this:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Users\jayme\AppData\Local\Programs\cobolt\resources\assets\scripts\win_deps.ps1"

A common cause for this failure is that winget may not be installed or available in your system’s PATH. I’ll update the script or README to check for this and provide guidance accordingly.

Appreciate your patience, and I hope you’re able to give it another try!
