## Neovim preparation and Installation for Windows Server 2022
This operating system is similar to Windows 10/11 but I could not manage to have winget package installer working
Luckily Chocolatey can install many packages.
Installing Microsoft Windows Terminal (wt.exe) was a bit tricky:
1. download Microsoft Windows Terminal from github release (on the right): download both preinstall kit and package for windows 10 version x64 architecture (windows11 version doesnt work). Unzip the preinstall kit.
2. Open powershell in administrator mode, and install the vc runtime from the preinstall kit before the package itself
- import-module appx -UseWindowsPowerShell
- Add-AppxPackage "C:\users\<your user>\downloads\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_Win10_1.16.10261.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle_Windows10_PreinstallKit\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.30704.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx"
- Add-AppxPackage "C:\users\<your user>\downloads\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_Win10_1.16.10261.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle"
3. Now the tool should be available. You can invoke it with wt.exe
For the other tools proceed using the same procedures listed for Windows 10/11
