[Bug]: Running Get-WGPath delivers wrong path in System Context

[AbsoluteBlack0]

Describe the problem

I am running a system context Powershell session. Get-WingetPath delivers the wrong winget.exe location because it expects nt-authority. Culture is german, so the system answers with nt-autorität as result of whoami.

Log is in additional informations.

Expectation

No response

This is part of an ongoing issue dealing with non-English output. I'll add this to the list.

What technique or process are you using to run as system?

[AbsoluteBlack0]

I am trying to write a proactive remediation script for intune which installs / uninstalls / updates a custom list of apps. At this point I am trying to run it in system context.

For testing purposes PSTools: PsExec.exe -s -i cmd.exe

I was trying to run plain winget in those scripts but as of now I could not find out why my winget list and winget upgrade calls did not deliver output.

It is more like a experimental learning process if I can use winget this way or if I need to stick to traditional Win32 deployment.

[jdhitsolutions]

That's the technique I use as well. The issue is the German culture and parsing that text.
