How to download WinDBG without Microsoft Store.

install.md

From microsoft/WinDbg-Feedback#19 (comment).

Here's how:

• Go to: https://store.rg-adguard.net/.
• Choose productId from the drop down, then input the store product id of WinDbg which is 9pgjgd53tn86.
• Click on the tick button and give it a few seconds.
• The website should display direct download links (check that links are pointing to Microsoft servers just to be sure).
• Download the appx file (should be the last one on the list).
• DO NOT try to install it by running the appx file, instead, just unzip it to a folder and voilà! your portable version of WinDbg is ready to be used.

Troubleshooting

The link is not working

For some reason, when I tried to click in the link:

It didn't start downloading, so I did a right click -> Copy link address -> Then opened in a guest window.

Downloading through insomnia also worked, use the link address in an insomnia GET request then click enter, you may have to wait a little.

to make links actually downloading from browser (likely you're using chromium based one, it prevents to download that stuff by clicking to it) copy the link and paste it into new tab

hint: download .msixbundle file, which contains all additional dependencies. otherwise you should also download all accompanied appx packages just to make the store application RUN

then open PowerShell and run this command:
Add-AppxPackage -Path "%FULL_PATH_TO_MSIXBUNDLE%\Microsoft.WinDbg_1.2409.17001.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.Msixbundle"
