There seems to be an issue with the registry key used to detect Winget-AutoUpdate's installation path.
The script currently checks the following key:
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Winget-AutoUpdate\
However, this registry key is not created when installing the latest versions of WAU (either via winget or MSI).
This causes the -WAUWhiteList option to fail since the install location cannot be found.
Changing the path to:
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Romanitho\Winget-AutoUpdate\
resolves the issue and allows the whitelist feature to work properly.
Note: In the version of winget-install.ps1 included within WAU itself, this correct registry key (HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Romanitho\Winget-AutoUpdate) is already used, and the whitelist feature works as expected.
