Description
Describe the feature/enhancement you need
Provide an MSIX package, so that installation across machines is easier. Currently, a mere application/vnd.microsoft.portable-executable isn't ideal. Even a .MSI would be an improvement.
The scenario/use case where you would use this feature
Provisioning: This would remediate https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/2515#issue-1268245927. Additionally, as https://github.com/RokeJulianLockhart/RokeJulianLockhart/issues/12#issue-3144334667 elaborates, PowerShell Core's *.-AppxPackage commandlets make local management thereafter trivial.
How important is this request to you?
Nice to have. There are other ways to tackle this, but having official API support would be beneficial.
Suggested implementation
Utilise Microsoft's MSIX Packaging Tool.
What does your app do? Is there a pending deadline for this request?
No need for a deadline.
