Ability to create a customized install

[noyard]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Ablity to create a copy of a existing package and customize it for a group of users.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

example is Zoom Client.

Complete install commands are located in https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362163-Mass-Installation-and-Configuration-for-Windows#download

I would like to install the Zoom client with the following command:

msiexec /i ZoomInstallerFull.msi ZNoDesktopShortcut="true" ZConfig="nogoogle=1;nofacebook=1;DisableLoginWithEmail=1" ZSSOHOST="{hostname}.zoom.com" /qn

I would like to be able to copy of the existing Zoom Client package and modify it and only make it available to the group of users.

@noyard I believe this is possible with something like winget install zoom.zoom --override "/i ZoomInstallerFull.msi ZNoDesktopShortcut="true" ZConfig="nogoogle=1;nofacebook=1;DisableLoginWithEmail=1" ZSSOHOST="{hostname}.zoom.com" /qn"

I expect there will be some fiddling to escape the inner quotes.

For a group of users, you might want to look at hosting a private REST source. We have a reference implementation at https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli-restsource

@noyard we recently announced WinGet configuration and Dev Home. The configuration part would need a DSC Resource to be able to configure Zoom. I just wanted to put a bit of an update here as we're making progress in a lot of interesting areas.

The WinGetPackage DSC resource doesn't support the override feature yet, right?

@AnthonyMastrean, we're tracking that work with:

• Expose more settings to Microsoft.WinGet.DSC/WinGetPackage #3401

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue since it's possible to stand up a REST source with custom arguments, but I think the path forward with WinGet Configuration will need to support parity for the arguments supported by the CLI.
