downloading .appinstaller from official website seems to be working as intended....

Thank you for reporting this issue.

The error code 0x80072EFE you're encountering is typically related to network connection problems.

@yoku-nai-desu Hello friends, I have updated the installation package download link from .appinstaller to .msixbundle.

In this way, there is no need to connect to the Internet to download when executing the Add-AppxPackage command, which should most likely solve your problem.

I hope you can try it again and look forward to your reply.
