Yeah, I notified @SteveL-MSFT on Twitter when I ran into this.
I had to actually enable Developer Mode in my Security settings on windows 10, and then I also had to install it using
Add-AppxPackage -Path $PathToMsixbefore it would let me install it.It’s not Store signed so you can’t just install it. As @vexx32 noted, you have to be in Developer mode and use the cmdlet to side-load it. At some point, we will be publishing this to the Store.
