Please confirm these before moving forward

  • I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
  • I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

Category of the issue

Different install technology.

Brief description of your issue

TeamViewer Full (the Windows client that allows outgoing and incoming connections) is only available in MSI format, which gets downloaded inside a ZIP file

I prefer the EXE version, but this isn't currently available in WINGET

Steps to reproduce

Run the command:
winget download TeamViewer.TeamViewer -a x64 --installer-type EXE

Actual behavior

Receive the error:
No applicable installer found; see logs for more details.

Expected behavior

Running
winget download TeamViewer.TeamViewer -a x64 --installer-type EXE
should download
https://download.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer_Setup_x64.exe

Running
winget download TeamViewer.TeamViewer -a x32 --installer-type EXE
should download
https://download.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer_Setup.exe
