Windows Terminal version

1.18.2822.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.0

Other Software

I currently have Terminal 1.15.2524.0 installed. Versions after this have failed (can't promise that I tried all of them).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.18.2822.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle from GitHub.
  2. Run installer. Click "Update" button.

Expected Behavior

Terminal installs, like previous versions.

OR

Terminal tells me exactly what is wrong.

Actual Behavior

Installer reports, "App Installer failed to install package dependencies. Ask the developer for package. "

What package? Where would I look to find this information? I couldn't find a log in the Event Viewer that told me.
