## 🔥 Features
* **Bulk Installation:** Install dozens of apps defined in `config.xml` with a single click.
* **Repository Search (New):** * **Live Filter:** Instantly filter through the cached Winget repository as you type.
* **Online Search:** Press `ENTER` to perform a deep search across Winget and MSStore sources to find any application.
* **Backup & Restore (New):** * **Export:** Create a snapshot of your installed software (JSON format).
* **Restore:** Restore your software suite on a fresh Windows installation using the backup file.
* **Smart Source Repair:** Automatically detects and fixes Winget 404 errors and Source Certification errors (0x8a15005e).
* **Modern UI:** A clean WPF interface with a built-in Dark/Light theme toggle.
* **Local App Support:** Can trigger local `.exe` or `.msi` installers from a `Programs` folder.
* **Silent Operation:** Hides the background PowerShell console window automatically.
* **App Upgrades:** Unified view for Upgrades and Pinned applications with visual separator.
## 🚀 How to Run
#### Option 1: Using the Executable (Recommended)
1. Download the latest `WinGet_Installer.exe` from the **[Releases Page](https://github.com/osmanonurkoc/AdBlockDNS/releases/latest)**.
2. Download `config.xml` from source code. Or use the portable version.
3. Double-click `WinGet_Installer.exe` to run.
#### Option 2: Running the Script (For Developers)
1. Download the source code.
2. Right-click `WinGet_Installer.ps1` and select **Run with PowerShell**.
* *Note:* If you encounter an Execution Policy error, run this command in PowerShell once:
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
```
> **Note:** If you run into execution policy errors, open PowerShell as Admin and run: `Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass`.
## ⚙️ Configuration (config.xml)
The application list is fully customizable via `config.xml`.
```xml
```
## 🛠️ Auto-Repair Logic
This tool is designed to be resilient. If Winget fails during installation:
1. **Certificate Errors:** It will automatically download the latest Winget release from Microsoft servers via BITS and update the package manager.
2. **Source Errors:** It will reset the Winget sources to factory defaults and force an update.
3. **Fallback Strategy:** It intelligently switches between `winget` and `msstore` sources based on the App ID format.
