Normally, Microsoft package installers (MSIX) require a certificate signed by an official certificate authority, which can cost up to 500$/year and is especially problematic for hobby developers and students (like me). This PowerShell script works around the issue by installing a self-signed certificate (which is free) to the user's machine and running the package installer afterwards.
