DevToys: Unable to install on Enterprise laptop

Description

I’m running Edition Windows 10 Enterprise Version 20H2 OS build 19042.631 Our laptops have the Windows Store functionality disabled. I have admin rights on the laptop, so I am able to install software (e.g. via .msi)

However, when I tried downloading DevToys.Startup_1.0.1.0_x86_x64_arm64.msixbundle (and the associated certificate) I was unable to install it.

The Windows says that the installer is a Trusted App, with Publisher: etiennebaudoux, so the certificate seems to be loaded OK.

But after saying “installing required packages…”, it quickly gives the message:

DevToys installation failed
Reason:
App Installer failed to install package dependencies. Ask the developer for  package.

Note the two spaces between “for” and “package” as if it is trying to insert the name of a package into that message.

Is there a known problem installing standalone? Or is there a missing dependency in the package, or something I need to install before installing DevToys?

Steps To Reproduce

download DevToys.Startup_1.0.1.0_x86_x64_arm64.msixbundle
download DevToys.Startup_1.0.1.0_x86_x64_arm64.cer
install the .cer into the Trusted Root CA store
Double click on the .msixbundle
installation fails

Expected behavior

Installation succeeds

DevToys Version

DevToys.Startup_1.0.1.0_x86_x64_arm64

@tmalaher-telus, I’m also avoiding to download something from unknown sites, so at the beginning I also excluded the option with the https://store.rg-adguard.net/. But later on I’ve noticed that the site just gives me links to the Microsoft’s site. So it’s safe to use it.
