Upload msixbundle Installers on GitHub Page #321

Closed Bamajon1974 closed 4 months ago

Can the Character Map UWP *.msixbundle installers but uploaded on the GitHub page to avoid the possible telemetry or adware bundling issues from downloading installers directly from the MS Store according to the following links below?

Thanks!

Installing directly from the Windows Store app will not use these wrapper installers, this only occurs if you use the website (to work around security issues Microsoft imposed on themselves...)

You can otherwise get the direct install packages for any UWP store app by pasting it's web store URL here https://store.rg-adguard.net/
