Running .msix in Arch?

I have run plenty of .exe successfully through wine, however I need to run a .msix app and that doesnt seem to be supported yet.

Is there any other way to run this type of app aside from running it in a VM?

Re: Running .msix in Arch?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/overview has info about msix and the tooling it uses. https://github.com/Microsoft/msix-packaging indicates the msix SDK can be build & used on linux .

Incase you want an alternative method, https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=36815 shows one :
extract the .msix package using 7z , locate the 'real' installer inside it and run that directly .
