To me such method of obtaining Store package looks questionable.
From my understanding, this is also how the Windows Package Manager/`winget` [downloads appx packages from the Windows Store.](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/blob/ddb86d48d52bbe2a96a5c18a342bb32...) That being said, I believe obtaining AppX files is not within Wine's scope. We only need to implement the APIs for installing an appx package given to us. The `PackageManager` APIs in WinRT only support installing locally present files, as documented [here:](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/blob/ddb86d48d52bbe2a96a5c18a342bb32...)
The URI must follow the file URI scheme (file://) since the only supported URI schemes are local file paths and local network paths.
