Get-WinGetManifest does not work with .yaml files because it's relying on a missing variable #179

Description

Brief description of your issue

Attempting to use Add-WinGetManifest to add a .yaml file. This eventually calls into Get-WinGetManifest. This does a check for $WinGetDesktopAppInstallerLibLoaded which is never set, so this code path will always fail. Working around this requires manually setting a global $WinGetDesktopAppInstallerLibLoaded value before running the cmdlet.

Tip: Using Set-StrictMode -Version Latest in every cmdlet script would help to catch issues like this as it will write an error when trying to reference an unset variable.

Steps to reproduce

Run Add-WinGetManifest and point it to a yaml file:

Add-WinGetManifest -FunctionName xxx -Path d:\path\to\manifest.yaml

Expected behavior

Should work

Actual behavior

Fails:

PS D:\b\winget-cli-restsource-ameltzer\bin> add-wingetmanifest -FunctionName "xxx" -Path D:\path\to\manifest.yaml -Verbose
