General Principle#

  1. Download the corresponding software installation package from a third-party website.
  2. Crack the signature verification of Windows.
  3. Enjoy~

Detailed Steps#

Using the Diarium software as an example, the installation process is demonstrated below.

Search for the desired application in Microsoft Apps.

Find the application and click to enter, then copy the URL of that application.

For example, the link corresponding to Diarium is https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh4vzz1?hl=en&gl=US

Retrieve and Download from a Third-Party Website#

Open the following website:

Microsoft Store - Generation Project (v1.2.3) [by @rgadguard & mkuba50] (rg-adguard.net)

Paste the previously copied link into the search box and click search.

In the search results, download the files with the .appx or .msixbundle extension from the first few files, usually the larger one.

During the download process, the browser may prompt that the downloaded file is risky. Click to keep it on this device.

Open the file directly, and an installation button should appear. Click to install.

After installation, you may be able to use it directly. However, if you are prompted that it is not available, please continue with the following steps.

Crack the Signature#

Download Release WSAppBak v1.1 · Wapitiii/WSAppBak (github.com)

After downloading, extract it to a suitable directory, then open WSAppBak.exe.

The software has been installed earlier, but it cannot be used, right? Use software like Everything to search for the location of the diarium.exe file.

Locate the directory of Diarium (the directory name may include some seemingly random letters and numbers), copy the directory link, not the .exe.

Paste the directory link and press Enter.

Specify any output directory, you can write ./output.

When prompted for a password, select None.

Open the output folder in the WSAppBak directory, or the folder you customized. Install the .pfx and .cer files respectively, and when prompted for the storage location, select "Local Machine".

When prompted to set a password, skip it directly; no need to change other settings, just click OK.

After installing the two files, click the .appx file generated in the directory, and then click Install (or click Reinstall).

When I installed it, it prompted installation failure. In this case, uninstall the previously installed software first, and then install the generated .appx file, and it should work normally.
