Offline installation of the packaging tool

Hi I need to install the tool on an offline Win10 1809 ; anyone knows where to get directly the setup file instead of downloading it with the Ms Store? Tanks

I found that using a web monitoring tool like Fiddler, you can trace the download from the Windows Consumer Store as well, and find the url to the installer package. You'd be looking for the one ending in .appxbundle.

I'll mention (as long as we are talking about offline), that to perform a capture using the tool while offline, the driver needs to be pre-installed. So you can install the tool and while online, start the process until the driver is installed, then cancel the tool and make your snapshot.
