If you ran the command from this blog post, the msixbundle files that are provided on the github page for Windows Terminal absolutely will not simply install. You may be able to run powershell commands to install it.
The program called App Installer that allows easy installation of bundles is itself primarily available via... the store.
The point of this blog post was to remove everything from Windows that is not simply using the base Win32 API. Windows Terminal uses XAML and is a modern application that is using the new WinUI, and staying current with the most up to date versions of it will be difficult without... the store. Or WinGet. WinGet will be using the store as the source.
If you manually installed msixbundle files from github, then you are still downloading something from a Microsoft-owned server, but just inconveniently.
If you don't trust what I'm saying then post the link to this non-msixbundle standalone installer, and prove to others that you are correct.
- PrimeMcFly 4y agoThe claim was not that you could install the apps after running the command in the blogpost, but that you could install the apps without microsoft store. you said: "Indeed, most of those can only be installed through the store" I said: "There is no need for the store at all, and the dev-friendly programs you mention can all be installed without it." My claim remains true and correct. You're shifting the goalposts by saying the apps would not install if the command in the post was run, when originally the claim was only that they can only be installed via the store.
