Description of the new feature/enhancement

Provide an .exe installer or just a precompiled binary as output to CI process, I cant install from windows store and the downloads do not contain an installer.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

How about NSIS? by the folks at winamp.

how about install it via scoop? this is a cl installer for windows, scoop install windows-terminal would do all the work.

There's an msixbundle on our Releases, which is an installer. Does that work for you? You could also try winget or chocolatey (though, the scoop and choco installs are maintained by third parties. )

All of these are valid installation methods. The msixbundle IS an installation package.
