function Install-SoftwareMicrosoftVSCodeInsiders { <# .SYNOPSIS Installs Microsoft Visual Studio Code Insiders using winget .DESCRIPTION Locates code-insiders.cmd in PATH or the standard per-user and per-machine installation paths. When Visual Studio Code Insiders is unavailable, the function installs Microsoft.VisualStudioCode.Insiders with winget and silent overrides that add PATH, file association, and Explorer context menu integration without launching the application. After installation, the function refreshes the current process environment and locates code-insiders.cmd again. The current implementation does not gate installation with ShouldProcess, so WhatIf and Confirm do not prevent the winget operation. .EXAMPLE PS> Install-SoftwareMicrosoftVSCodeInsiders Installs Visual Studio Code Insiders when code-insiders.cmd is unavailable and returns its version and command path. .INPUTS None. This function does not accept pipeline input. .OUTPUTS System.String. Returns native winget output when Visual Studio Code Insiders is installed. System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject. Returns product, version, command path, winget path, installer override, and installation status details. .NOTES Author: David Segura Company: Recast Software Version: 1.0.0 Date: 2026-08-28 Requires Windows and winget.
