Install app without microsoft store via exe file

primitivno

Hello
I dont have microsoft store on my PC so I can't download and install the app

If i use 'Скачать напрямую (.msix)' then I get this result:

I mean that nothing happens 🙁 It doesn't matter if i choose 'Launch when ready' or not, the result is nothing in both ways

I have added the video but it wasn't added. So it is the demonstration: https://youtu.be/OlzROqAmbDc

Maybe it is possible to add an usual .exe installer?

Thanks for the video.

This is indeed not the expected behavior. I believe it’s connected to the fact that you’re using a stripped-down version of Windows without MS Store (LTSC, probably?).

Lookupper is a modern Windows 10/11 app distributed as an MSIX package, as recommended by Microsoft and the Windows App SDK. Therefore, there is no way for it to be installed via an .exe installer.
The only workaround I can recommend is to install a full version of Windows 10 or 11 using the original image from the Microsoft website.

my goal was to get OS for games so i removed almost all microsoft services. and many other people do the same 🙂

sad story that u dont use the most reliable way of install that works everywhere.. just .exe (they work perfectly, as all programs that are not bound to microsoft store)

nevermind, i used power shell and install it without problems
