You can use MSIX without the Microsoft Store. Also see https://github.com/microsoft/win32-app-isolation/discussions/21

If I am interpreting this correctly, the question is really: When will support for adding an appcontainer to a legacy application that uses an exe installer?

The exe installer needs to be converted to MSIX for win32 app isolation to work. We support "legacy application with exe installer" - but it needs to be packaged.

short answer is "No". Win32 App Isolation can't work without MSIX. I believe this issue can be closed.
