Hello,

I was reading the discussion of the issue #6010, that it is possible to install an offline and unregistered version of Windows Terminal with an offline licence.

But our case is different.

The company, where we work as software analysts, developers and engineers, allow us to demand the addition of software to their own software central since they do not depend on PowerShell and on winget.

The company disables PowerShell and does not allow us to re-enable it. It does not allow us to install software that set PowerShell as default (except VSCode, in which we can change manually from PowerShell to Command Prompt or Git Bash). For this reason, Windows Terminal can not be approved, although we can change manually the default shell of Windows Terminal. The problem is PowerShell.

I was reading the README, that PowerShell is one prerequisites, but I saw the issue #6010, that they could install offline and unregistered version of Windows Terminal without depending on PowerShell.

Is there how the company install Windows Terminal without PowerShell and without winget?
