juliaup windows exe download

[AbhimanyuAryan]

where can I get juliaup windows .exe instead of downloading it from Microsoft Store?

On Windows the only supported distribution at the moment is via the Windows Store. I don't plan to distribute individual binaries at the moment as that would essentially defeat the entire auto-update idea. What is the use-case you are trying to solve?

[AbhimanyuAryan]

I was thinking of removing bloatware and default Microsoft apps from Windows. Block all sorts of Microsoft telemetry that will also kill Microsoft store and outlook using WPD.app, policies and win registry

I was wondering if I can get JuliaUp via some 3rd party(non-Microsoft) place

I personally don't use the windows store for anything. So I had to literally figure it out just for juliaup. I would much rather just download it from julialang.org and update it infrequently.

I do agree that the windows store is more convenient now that I have it set up.

Closing as dup of #343

@ViralBShah I think winget install julia -s msstore should work on all Windows versions now, out-of-the box without the need to interact with the store. We could also remove the non-store version of Julia from winget and at that point the command winget install julia would do the trick.

Another option is that once we make this the default we have a link that directly opens the store on the correct app page. So someone would go to julialang.org/install, click one link and then click "Install" and that would be it. I think that would work, but not entirely sure.

I tried it, but…

> winget install julia -s msstore

This package is provided through Microsoft Store. winget may need to acquire the package from Microsoft Store on behalf of the current user.

Ah, interesting! This is probably on a system without a Microsoft Account linked somehow? Well, we do have an alternative for Windows now: #343

[MatthijsBlom]

Yes, this is on a non-linked system.

You know I did get it through the winget install julia -s msstore approach - but I thought that meant that I was actually installing through the windows store and it used something I had stored on my computer for the Windows Store login or something.
