+# Installing Winget on Tiny10 (Windows 10 Lite)
+
+This repository provides a PowerShell script to install the Windows Package Manager (winget) on Tiny10 or other lightweight Windows 10 distributions where it's not pre-installed.
+
+## The Problem
+
+When trying to install winget on Tiny10, users often encounter the following issues:
+- "No applicable app licenses found" error after installing the basic components
+- Missing dependencies (VCLibs, UI.Xaml)
+- Missing runtime components (VCRUNTIME140.dll)
+- Access and PATH issues with the WindowsApps folder
+
+## The Solution
+
+The `Install-Winget.ps1` script automates the entire installation process:
+
+1. Installs Visual C++ Redistributable (for VCRUNTIME140.dll)
+2. Downloads all required dependencies:
+   - Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller package
+   - License XML file (critical for proper installation)
+   - Microsoft.VCLibs UWP package
+   - Microsoft.UI.Xaml package
+3. Properly installs winget with its license file
+4. Creates an accessible batch wrapper in C:\Tools
+5. Updates PATH settings for easy access
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Download the script
+2. Open PowerShell as Administrator
+3. Run:
+   ```powershell
+   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\path\to\Install-Winget.ps1"
+   ```
+4. Restart your terminal
+5. Verify installation with `winget --version`
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Windows 10 (Tiny10 or similar lightweight distribution)
+- Administrator privileges
+- Internet connection
+
+## Notes
+
+- This script is specifically designed for Tiny10 and similar lightweight Windows distributions
+- The installation process doesn't require Microsoft Store
+- The installed winget will not receive automatic updates
