GitHub Actions winget install
On Windows GitHub Actions runs where a Windows program needs to be installed, WinGet can be used like the following example.
In this example, environment variable FFMPEG_ROOT tells Python where to find the ffmpeg.exe program. One could more generally append to the GITHUB_PATH environment variable.
