The newer .msix apps are supposed to be able to handle this, and WinUI3 is supposed to come with a package-dependency that uses the package system to automatically make sure you have the 100+MB library up to date. However, this is the new cool system that nobody uses and doesn't help ordinary devs. They should just ship it in the OS.
And has lots of interesting bugs to explore, depending if the application uses only C++, only C#, a mixture of both, is packaged or expanded, ships the language runtimes along the MSIX, or depends on the store for dependencies,...
Yet another opportunity to submit a few issues on the repos.
