Winget for windows server 2022 install scripts with .ps1 execution disabled by domain admin

[Coresi7]

Tested on a pure new Windows Server 2022 with .ps1 execute disabled (Which means you cannot use winge-install). Copy and paste code into .ps1 file or elevated interactive powershell window.
Will try to download and install winget and its dependencies packages from latest release. so please cd or pushd to a temporary folder.

Single line version, best choice if you HAVE to execute it in an elevated interactive powershell window.

Detailed expanded version, same as above, best choice if you can save it to .ps1 and execute it with admin priviledge.

# If your server failed to execute .ps1 due to your company's policies (which means package winget-install also unable to execute),
# copy and paste following code into an interactive elevated powershell window.
# Will download temporary files to powershell current path so please cd or pushd to a temporary folder.
