MSIX

MSIX is Windows’ modern installation format, the one used by the Microsoft Store — it’s how TradingView Desktop is distributed. An MSIX app runs inside a lightweight container: its files and registry are isolated from the rest of the system, and the Store updates it automatically. A surprising side effect: it lives inside WindowsApps, a hidden, locked-down folder within Program Files, out of reach of a normal double-click. That’s why the guide doesn’t launch TradingView from its install path: instead, it goes through its execution alias, adding the debugging option the MCP server needs.
