http://docs.microsoft.com/windows/msix http://github.com/microsoft/msix-packaging http://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/installer/windows/installer/MSIX.html
Utilisation of MSIX would allow installation to be much more easy for users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 – because of http://docs.microsoft.com/windows/msix/msix-core/msixcore – and for Windows 10 and Windows 11 because of their native support of it.
I have only installed 0.A.D via GNU Software and Linux-based operating-systems, so my knowledge of how 0.A.D has been designed to update for users of Windows is not great. However, I am doubtful that it is by executing the binary (.EXE) installer for every improvement. Consequently, utilisation of MSIX would also allow installation by pseudo-package-managers that are smiliar to http://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli to install packages without the possibility of corruption that execution of 1 installer every time that the package is being replaced for improvement is able to cause.
