Support for automated WSA install/update

[jake-brown-maps]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

It is common practice for work computers to be managed by IT departments with software tools that facilitate the install of applications (SCCM). It would be ideal to have a supported approach for installing WSA on a computer rather than directing a user to install from Microsoft Store. Some IT departments do not support stores at all.

As WSA supports side-loading of APKs as of 2305 logging into Amazon Appstore is no longer a requirement. Looking to eliminate/minimize the need for the user to interact with the Microsoft store as well.

It is acknowledged that "two store install" is just fine for some users.

Describe the solution you'd like

Capability to enable WSA as a system component that is updated behind the scenes. User would not log into Microsoft store. Amazon Appstore would be an optional install - not bundled with WSA.

Open to other solutions that accomplish the goal of supporting a no-store approach.

Describe alternatives you've considered

We've done preliminary investigations on what WSA for enterprise would look like, but it's not currently on our roadmap. We'll take this feedback into consideration.

• @kevinkieselbach Considering https://github.com/microsoft/WSA/pull/535 , has the enterprise version of WSA been discontinued from further development?
