Winget command missing from server 2019

Environment

[winget --info]
Windows Package Manager v0.1.41331 Preview
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Windows: Windows.server 17763.1
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.0.41331.0


Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the latest Windows Package Manager
2. I cannot find the Windows Package Manager though I have it installed.

Expected behavior

Winget should be available from the command line.

Actual behavior

Winget is not available from the command line.
The only way to get it to work,

1. enable developer mode in settings
2. execute the following powershell command
   Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller | %{ Invoke-CommandInDesktopPackage -PackageFamilyName $_.PackageFamilyName -AppId winget -Command C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe -PreventBreakaway }
3. navigate to the app package and run AppInstallerCli.exe

Use this method to install the missing dependencies:

[santagada]

Thanks for the comment, but I would prefer to not go to a shady website on a windows server instance to get links to download tools... feels like microsoft should support their own operating system.

[kuzi-moto]

I agree, but for what it's worth I believe you are actually still downloading the packages from Microsoft. I think that the site is just providing the direct link which is hosted by Microsoft.

You could still visit it on another machine/VM/etc. to get the link if you're interested enough.

Windows Server 2019 does not support execution aliases.
