FluentCleaner Classic is not available on winget today. The existing package is the WinUI 3 / Modern edition only:
winget search FluentCleaner
Name Id Version Source
-------------------------------------------------------
FluentCleaner Builtbybel.FluentCleaner 26.08.01 winget
That package installs FluentCleaner-win-x64.zip and depends on Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2.0. Please do not fold Classic into it. The two editions use different binaries, different runtimes, and different version schemes (26.08.01 vs Classic 1.15.x).
Request
Add a separate winget package for FluentCleaner Classic only.
Suggested ID (publisher casing already used in winget-pkgs):
Builtbybel.FluentCleaner.Classic
Install would look like:
winget install Builtbybel.FluentCleaner.Classic
winget upgrade Builtbybel.FluentCleaner.Classic
Installer source: the existing Classic zip from GitHub Releases, for example:
Same portable-zip pattern as Builtbybel.FluentCleaner is enough. Classic is a much better portable candidate: ~3.5 MB and ~20 files vs ~140 MB / 243 files for Modern.
Why a dedicated Classic package
- Tiny and framework-dependent. Classic runs on machines that already have .NET Framework 4.8. No WASDK install, no 140 MB self-contained bundle.
- Independent releases. Classic tags (
classic-1.15.x) do not move in lockstep with Modern (26.08.xx). One winget ID cannot version both correctly.
- Automation / RMM. Classic is the edition that is easy to stage on locked-down or older Windows endpoints (
/AUTO, Task Scheduler, fleet scripts). winget upgrade would replace ad-hoc GitHub zip downloads.
- Avoids fake-site downloads. Official GitHub is the only source; a first-party winget ID makes that the default install path.
Out of scope
- No change to
Builtbybel.FluentCleaner (Modern).
- No request for Chocolatey, Scoop, or an in-app updater in this issue.
- MSI / Inno is nice-to-have, not required. The current Classic zip is sufficient.
