Xbox apps/games from the Microsoft Store cannot be installed
Brief description of your issue
Games that use Xbox services appear to not be available for installation from the msstore source, even though they appear in search.
Steps to reproduce
- Run
winget search -s msstore "Microsoft Solitaire Collection". - Note that it appears available for installation.
- Run
winget install -s msstore "Microsoft Solitaire Collection". - It doesn't install :-(
Expected behavior
To absolutely pwn some noobs in Klondike.
Actual behavior
The REST source is sending a 404, claiming there isn't an available product for that package version. I can replicate this with the Minecraft Launcher and Halo Infinite, all free games (so there isn't any weirdness I know of with Game Pass entitlements or something).
I've attached verbose logs so everyone can see the full responses, but it might be that the source is just blocking Xbox games from being installed, in which case I suppose this should be a feature request (but there should be documentation that games are not currently supported, and searching for games shouldn't return any results).

Any other software? Well, I'd say Microsoft Solitaire Collection, but...
