NOTE: for ZIP version, mark the x64 version of "Microsoft Visual C++ 2017-2026 Redistributable" as a dependency
(I believe this is called "Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64" in WINGET, even-though it should be named "Microsoft.VCRedist.2017+.x64", according to this page, as 2015 is listed as a separate entry)

Likely only the EXE version can be added; as while 7Z support in Winget has been requested for quite some time by now, there's still no time estimate for 7Z support.

@DandelionSprout : given only Windows 11 22H2 "Moment 4" and later offer built-in extract (and creation) support for 7z files, I'd guess 7-Zip file support can't be added as WINGET is still supported on Windows 10, where that will never be back-ported.

I guess WINGET could distribute the 7z.dll file itself (given it's entirely free to use), but that's a discussion for another ticket.

It would be great on Windows 10 22H2 if we could still use WINGET to just download 7z files though. Like I'm sure the vast-majority of 10 users, I have the 7-Zip app installed, and was just hoping WINGET could replace having to visit sites manually...
