Does it tell you an error code number when you try to install the msix yourself?

Does it give you any sort of message at all when you try to install the msix? There might be some event in the Event Viewer, but I'm not sure which path it would be under

AppX Deployment operation failed for package Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_3001.18.3181.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe with error 0x80073D19. The specific error text for this failure is: error 0x80070002: While processing the request, the system failed to register the windows.sharedFonts extension due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. Im seeing this error in connection with this issue. There are others but they are way less specific and seem like symptoms rather than causes to me.

Uninstall/Reinstall seems to fix it. At least in my case.
