Support NetXMS Management Console installation on Windows via Winget
-
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, installing and maintaining the NetXMS Management Console on Windows requires manually downloading the installer from the official website and running through the setup wizard. While this method works perfectly fine, it bypasses the modern package management ecosystem that many Windows administrators now rely on for seamless software deployment and automated workstation updates.Describe the solution you would like
I would like to request official support for installing the NetXMS client console on Windows using Winget (Windows Package Manager). This could be achieved by submitting and maintaining a package manifest for the NetXMS Management Console in the official Microsoft community repository (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs).This would allow Windows users to simply open their terminal and run `winget install NetXMS.Console` (or a similar identifier) to get the software up and running natively. It would also allow IT professionals to easily keep the management client updated alongside their other administrative tools using `winget upgrade`.
Describe alternatives you have considered
The current alternative is performing a manual installation using the executable from the NetXMS website or deploying it via custom enterprise scripts. However, having an official Winget package would greatly simplify the deployment and update processes, especially for users who use automated scripts to provision their IT management workstations.Additional context
Since the NetXMS client console already has a Homebrew package available for macOS users (https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/netxms-console), adding Winget support would provide excellent parity for Windows users. It would significantly increase accessibility and make version management much easier across different operating systems. Thank you for considering this enhancement and for the great work on the project!
