Install Microsoft Store apps without signing in to a Microsoft account
MSStoreNoAuth is a simple CLI tool that lets you install apps from the Microsoft Store by URL or Store ID, without forcing an interactive Microsoft account login. Under the hood it uses winget (msstore source), and offers:
- Interactive mode (paste URL or ID when prompted)
- Argument mode (pass URL or ID on the command-line)
- Auto-accept or manual agreement confirmation
- Error-code mapping for friendlier messages
- Automatic fallback to manual mode if auto-accept fails
- Loop support so you can install multiple apps in one session
- Windows 10/11 (with the Microsoft Store installed)
- Windows Package Manager (
winget)
Note: No .NET runtime installation is required. The app is published as a self-contained single-file executable with the runtime bundled in.

Pass a Store URL or raw Store ID as the only argument:
MSStoreNoAuth.exe https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/xp89dcgq3k6vld
or
MSStoreNoAuth.exe xp89dcgq3k6vld
Run without arguments and paste the URL or Store ID when prompted:
MSStoreNoAuth.exe
You'll then be asked to choose between auto-accept or manual mode for agreement confirmation. After each install, you can choose to install another app without restarting.
The workflow builds a self-contained single-file .exe and attaches it to a GitHub Release with auto-generated release notes.
