"http://docs.microsoft.com/windows/msix"; and: "http://github.com/microsoft/msix-packaging"; and: "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.

Achievement of this would allow me to replace the package that has been submitted for "http://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/35468".
