What is the feature or improvement?
Please provide a Windows installer for the Codex desktop app that does not require Microsoft Store.
Why is this needed?
Our company-managed Windows machines do not have access to Microsoft Store, and installing apps through Microsoft Store is blocked by policy.
Because of this, we cannot install the Codex desktop app normally. We can only use the VS Code extension, but the desktop app experience is more convenient for multi-agent work, project switching, and local workflows.
This is not just a personal preference: it is an enterprise device-management blocker for teams whose Windows machines cannot use Microsoft Store.
Possible installation options
- Standalone .exe installer
- .msi installer
- winget package
- Downloadable MSIX/App Installer package
- Enterprise deployment option
Impact
This would make Codex much easier to adopt in corporate Windows environments where Microsoft Store is disabled.
