An unpackaged installation (unzipped) of 1.8.1032.0 doesn't work. I get a momentary all-white window (correct size/position so I figure the settings file is being read). I also get crash reports in the reliability monitor.

Unpackaged installations are not, and have never been, officially supported. Sorry.

It seems to be broken because of a bug in C++/WinRT (ugh), not some change we made. I'm pursuing the right fix. 😄

Could I just add to this that using the unpackaged method is the only way to get to use Windows Terminal when the Microsoft Store has been locked down (corporate policy). I had the same crashing in 1.8 so have reverted back to 1.7.

Is it possible to add an official non-store installation please?

Same here. Microsoft Store is locked down for me. But I can download the .msixbundle file from the Releases page and install it using Add-AppPackage command. Are you not able to do the same?

In case it's of any help at all, the behaviour I see is that 1.8 will crash on start-up unless I run 1.7 first (which I still have a copy of in a parallel directory). If I do that and close it, 1.8 seems to happily run from then onwards, until I reboot and I have to go through the same process again.

Unpacked v1.7.1033.0 and 1.8.1032.0 dont work anymore.

The only working version for me is 1.6.10571.0.

Please dont take this away, because we dont have windows store activated on our PCs and dont have any admin rights.

Unpacking it, was the only way to use this great Terminal.

Thank you

from @K2ouMais

It is possible to install the msixbundle without the store. You can use Add-AppxPackage from PowerShell, even if you are not an administrator. This is a supported way to use Terminal.

If I do this:

Import-Module -Name Appx -UseWindowsPowershell
Add-AppxPackage .\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.7.1091.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle

it installs fine but when I click on the Windows Terminal link on the start menu it fails to run and get this error:

I suspect this may be down to our over zealous antivirus software. The manually unbundled version of 1.7 still works fine thankfully though.

Ah, the joys of being stuck on a locked down corporate device :(

FWIW, we have similar problems in a constrained environment, except that clicking on the WT link in the Start Menu simply does nothing at all. Manually unbundling is fine.

Have exactly the same problem... I can install it with "Add-AppxPackage", but when I click on the icon I get an error Message.
