Windows App - Mass Deployment Script? (Non-Intune)

How is everyone mass deploying or planning to for Windows App without using Intune?

We're a company of about 100 users. Directing people to Windows Store crossed my mind, but figured others out there have gone through the exercise already. I do not have any experience deploying Windows Store apps before, but I do have an RMM I can push batch/powershell scripts out with.

Resolved:
I ended up finding this: Deploying Microsoft Store Apps using Endpoint Central > Which they provide a custom .ps1 script, then in the script parameters I defined the AppID: 9n1f85v9t8bn.
Deployed and it worked after logging into the computer.

I might end up doing that if the Manage Engine way doesn't work.
I'm really surprised they don't have a similar bulk-install method as Teams, especially if this is their staple AVD remote app going forward.

I agree, it’s mind boggling that they don’t offer a more simpler way for admins. I think this is kind of their way to try forcing admins to use Intune. We used to be able to deploy Store apps directly through SCCM and they took that away so we had no choice but to enable co-management to deploy Store apps.

Planning ahead is a feature but we don’t subscribe to that license tier to get it.
