You get that message because the App Installer package is not installed in the sandbox, but that is only the UI for installing with double-click. You can still install MSIX packages in the sandbox with the PowerShell cmdlet Add-AppPackage. You can also install the App Installer package (and its dependencies) with Add-AppPackage, and then you'd be able to install other .msix apps by double-clicking the files.
