### I have read the known issues
- [x] Yes, I did
### Version of WinUtil
26.0… 8.19
### What part of WinUtil are you having issues with?
Program Install Tab
### Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.
Installing Battle.net through WinUtil does not complete unattended.
WinUtil starts the `Blizzard.BattleNet` package through WinGet, but WinGet then stops and asks for an installation root directory:
> Für dieses Paket ist ein Installationsspeicherort erforderlich.
> Geben Sie das Installationsstammverzeichnis an:
Translates to:
> An installation location is required for this package.
> Enter the installation root directory:
The installation remains blocked until the user manually enters a path in the PowerShell window.
This is not a request for general custom installation-location support. The issue is specifically that selecting Battle.net in WinUtil results in an installation that unexpectedly requires terminal interaction, which can make the installation process appear stuck, especially when multiple applications are being installed.
Ideally, Battle.net should either be invoked in a way that allows the installation to proceed unattended, or WinUtil should clearly indicate that this package requires interactive input.
### Steps to reproduce the issue
1. Open WinUtil.
2. Go to the Program Install tab.
3. Select Battle.net.
4. Click Install/Upgrade Selected.
5. Wait for WinGet to start installing `Blizzard.BattleNet`.
6. The PowerShell window stops at the installation directory prompt.
7. The installation does not continue until a path is manually entered.
### Expected behavior
Selecting Battle.net in WinUtil should either:
- install Battle.net without requiring terminal interaction, or
- clearly indicate that user input is required before starting the installation.
The installation process should not silently wait indefinitely for console input.
### Actual behavior
WinGet pauses and waits for an installation root directory to be manually entered in the PowerShell window.
### List the tweaks you applied before the issue occurred.
None relevant. This occurs directly when installing Battle.net through the Program Install tab.
### Paste the full error output (if available) or Screenshot or Video.
There is no explicit error. The process waits for interactive input.
