However, when i tested the command azureauh --version, i ran into this issue The application to execute does not exist: 'C:\Users\keyuxuan\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Links\azureauth.dll'..

Does anyone know why this happens even tho installation was successful and how to fix this?

This issue appears related to the recently closed microsoft/winget-cli#2711.

Unfortunately, you will have to upgrade your manifests to ManifestVersion: 1.9.0 and add the ArchiveBinariesDependOnPath field. However, manifest version 1.9.0 is not generally available / public and documentation is lacking for now. I would expect it to be enabled in this repo, winget CLI, and wingetcreate within the next two months. Though someone with more authority than me is free to correct that estimate.
