First off - The Terminal definitely isn't going to work on 10.0.18363.1139. We bumped our min version to 19041 a year or two ago.

Secondly - I hit this myself last week setting up a fresh machine. I believe that the version of the App Installer that ships with the OS it pretty out of date. If you go to the Microsoft Store and open up the App Installer page, you should be able to manually pull down an update that's got the latest bits in it.

better workaround:

rename to ZIP
extract using Windows
dont update anything

FWIW, I'd be careful doing that. There are some crashes in system XAML that were only fixed in the 1904x builds of windows. For example, any sort of nested dropdown menu will crash the Terminal on 18363.

It is much simpler to use the ZIP files we distribute - they contain the dependencies that would have automatically been resolved by the MSIX system. That's what they're for.

If you do not want to use the MSIX installer, you do not need to.
