Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.21.2361.0
### Windows build number
10.0.19045.4894
### Other Software
_No response_
### Steps to reproduce
1. Download the `msixbundle` and double-click to install
Note that I _am_ able to install the latest version on Microsoft Store (v1.20.11781.0; I've checked after uninstalling and trying to install again), but I _am not_ able to install the latest GitHub release (v1.21.2361.0). Some hasty Googling tells me this is a probably an issue with permissions; how do I begin to debug this?
### Expected Behavior
I am able to install/update Windows Terminal successfully.
### Actual Behavior
I'm getting the following error message in the installer UI:
> App installation failed with error message: error 0x80070005: Opening the package from location Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.21.2361.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle failed. (0x80070005)

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by installing the GitHub msixbundle on Windows 10.0.19045.4894 with Windows Terminal 1.21.2361.0, then investigate what causes installer error 0x80070005 and compare it with the Microsoft Store installation. Done means the latest GitHub release installs or updates successfully.
