I'm distributing msix (msixbundle) because it allows me to package a downloadable installer and a windows store upload. You should be able to double click the msixbundle to run the installer, powershell isn't necessary.

MSIX installers feel a bit odd, I think, because they're far less common than either msi or self extracting exe. They also virtualize the app. MSIX apps, for example, can't write to the canonical registry. It's not all upside, but it works well for my projects.

The SDK install is expected (if not already installed). It should hopefully have been automatically downloaded during the install process.
