MSIX files not installing
Hello!
I found some MSIX packages in the edge installation folder, all of them are different versions of edge(e.g. Edge dev, Edge stable)
and I wanted to install them but I get this error:
This app package is not supported for installation by App installer because it uses certain restricted capabilities.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? i bought this PC on ebay and I don't know the admin password. The guy gave me a temp pass to use for the user, but not the admin one.
Thanks,
Aiden
(The zip folder has the MSIX package I used, tell me if anyone of you has the same issue.)

- What are you trying to achieve exactly?
install Edge?
download from here:
http://microsoft.com/edge
offline installers here:

there is absolutely no need to do any of those things you mentioned.- You can find most of them in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\88.0.705.63\identity_proxy/. Which is the install forlder for edge

even if it was possible, something would not work correctly, for example the updater service.
HotCakeX What im trying to do is get diffrent versions of edge. like i said in the post, edge dev, canary, ect. I dont want one of the installers, because they requare admin to install, and i dont have the password (I forgot it).

Then you better starting solving that problem first.
if a program requires admin rights for installations, there is no way to circumvent that other than entering your password/Pin.
