Describe the solution you'd like?

Provide an .MSIX installation package, via winget-pkgs (and the Microsoft Store, if an applicable target), and an .AppInstaller (which is an .MSIX or .MSIXBundle with associated origin repository metadata) via /releases and warp.dev/download.

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

Currently, the sole installation method for Windows provided is a mere binary (an .exe)! This is remarkably retrograde, when MSI, AppX, and MSIX/MSIXBundle/AppInstaller have all replaced installers of that manner (in chronological order).

Good reasons for this exist:

  1. DLL de-duplication

  2. Clean uninstallation

  3. Ease of deployment

An .exe should not be the method of delivery for an installer.

Additional context

Note that MSIX doesn't restrict the application to the old UWP permission model.
