Allow installation via PowerShell

lispstudent commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

At the moment I can only use Windows 10 Enterprise, with no Store App. I would like to be able to install Amethyst Windows there as well.

Describe the solution you'd like

Would you consider add ability to install Amethyst Windows on Windows Enterprise installs where MS App Installer is not allowed to run?

Describe alternatives you've considered

I know one can install .appxbundle with PowerShell command Add-AppxPackage.

At the moment it is not possible to do it with .\AmethystWindowsPackaging_1.0.21150.1_x86_x64_ARM.appxbundle`, see below for PowerShell output:

Add-AppxPackage .\AmethystWindowsPackaging_1.0.21150.1_x86_x64_ARM.appxbundle
Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF3, Package failed updates,
dependency or conflict validation.

e7e2fe78-574a-47c3-81a2-66484cda1c60_1.0.21150.1_x64__wr4dg9c1cnpd8 because this
package depends on a framework that could not be found. Provide the framework
"Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.5" published by "CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft
Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US", with neutral or x64 processor
architecture and minimum version 2.52012.2002.0, along with this package to install.
