Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. At present Google delivers Chrome Windows installer as MSI. For Windows 10 - modern management and for MS Store (including Private Store) Microsoft recommends MSIX. Can you kindly provide Chrome (Canary, Beta, and Stable) as MSIX? MSIX benefits for Application Developers: • No need to build installer/updater/uninstaller • More distribution options (Microsoft Store) • Monetization, licensing • Future proof as it works with scenarios like Windows 10 in S Mode and other configurations/devices. • Access to all Windows 10 APIs and features • Allows for extensibility MSIX benefits for the Enterprise: • Declarative installs • Reliable, fast installs and updates • Truly clean uninstalls • Protected app data • Additional distribution options (MS Store for Business, Intune) • No “WinRot” or DLL Hell” • Network bandwidth savings with Delivery Optimization capabilities and differential updates • Storage size savings • Works with Windows 7 to help with transition to Windows 10 • Ability to deliver to Windows 10 in S Mode From an enterprise tooling expectations: • Ability to repackage existing installers to MSIX • High conversion success rate and compatibility • UX and Command line tool for IT Pros • Support Win7 and Win10 with the same binaries • Configure final package for successful deployment MSIX technical documentation (finally) at https://aka.ms/msix and the first link (What is MSIX) has a nice intro video: https://youtu.be/phrD081sMWc. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? In addition to MSI, start supporting MSIX. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version:
