The MS Store workaround is not self-contained #1764

Closed afilina closed 1 year ago

afilina commented 1 year ago

Documentation Issue

Under "Downloading distributions", the packages require dependencies, which cannot be downloaded if one doesn't have access to the MS Store due to aggressive security policies.

Suggested Improvements

Add self-contained installation files that include all dependencies and don't try to access the MS Store at any point.

Could you provide which package requires dependencies from MS Store?

afilina commented 1 year ago

The error message doesn't say. It just says that a package is missing and to contact the package developer (which is whoever packaged the distro as .appx)

This should be fixed in the latest! This was an error with Ubuntu but should now be resolved.
