MSIX is for the Windows Store as opposed to a standard downloadable installer. May be something to consider down the road, however. It would require more work to get things running and I’m not entirely sure how to set the CI up for it. We can certainly add it to the tracker, though, as a long-term goal. It took Gimp years before they submitted it to the Windows Store, for instance 🙂

Edit: added to the tracker 🙂

I can ask the LOOT folks about the pros and cons as I’m sure they’ve done some consideration already. 🙂

Here’s the list of software that the Windows CI supports out of the box: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/windows/Windows2025-Readme.md

There are some package managers in there but I’m unfamiliar with them so I’m not entirely sure how they work.

Anything in there that seems useful, in addition to what we’re already using? As wget isn’t included, we’re using aria2 which supports a similar syntax as wget.

Been a bit of a rough week so I haven’t been able to look too much into the installers yet. Hopefully next week will be better!
