Is it possible to get the App Installer executable offline to install? I need to install it on numerous machines but I do not want to install it using Microsoft Store because our company policy block Microsoft Store.
Is there an offline installer for this?

@Gregory Bologna thank you for your question. There is currently no offline installer for this. This is good feedback for us though.

@Gregory Bologna I was wrong, there is a way to get the app installer offline. You go to the offline business store Microsoft Store for Business. Under settings just make sure to toggle the "show offline apps" to on. Search up the desktop app installer, and then you can download the offline app installer.
There are docs on how to get apps from the business store here:

@Gregory Bologna I just checked with some folks, and on winget we publish bundles of the AppInstaller msixbundle for users to download. You can get the latest release here: Release Windows Package manager 1.2.10271 · microsoft/winget-cli (github.com)
Here is the official guidance: microsoft/winget-cli: Windows Package Manager CLI (aka winget) (github.com)
