I have my first attempt at a stop-gap PackageManagement provider up on PSGallery this morning, it should work on both PowerShell 3 through 5.1 and 7.0.1+.

I've noticed on first run that it's somewhat flaky about initially caching the package list from the repo if winget has never been used before. Running a cmdlet a second time after initial install seems to work. Still looking into that piece.

Not being able to pull a list of installed packages also seems to give PackageManagement some heartburn..

PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount> Install-PackageProvider WinGet -Force
