Description

Describe the bug

We're distributing Windows App Runtime 1.0.3 as part of PowerToys and some users are reporting installation errors.

This specific error:
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/18021#issuecomment-1116999749

It states that "To install this application you need either a Windows developer license or a sideloading-enabled system."

All I could found about this was https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/1119 which stated this shouldn't happen for stable releases.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Download Windows App Runtime 1.0.3 installer and run it.
