We are trying to use .appinstaller to wrap our packages and dependencies so users can use it to install our applications and its dependencies. Here is the sample file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><AppInstaller
        Uri=http://xxx/a/b/c/package.appinstaller" 	
        Version="x.x.x.x" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/appinstaller/2017/2">        <MainBundle                Name="CompanyName"                Version="x.x.x.x"                Publisher="publishername"                Uri="http://xxx/a/b/c/package.msixbundle" />        <Dependencies>                <Package			     Name="Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8" 
			     Publisher="CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US" 
			     ProcessorArchitecture="x64"                             Uri="http://xxx/a/b/c/dependent1.appx" />                                        
        </Dependencies> 
	<UpdateSettings> 
		<OnLaunch 
			HoursBetweenUpdateChecks="0" /> 
	</UpdateSettings> 
</AppInstaller>

We are expecting the dependency should be downloaded from "http://xxx/a/b/c/dependent1.appx" however it is going to MS Store. How can we ensure that it will always use the given URL instead of MS Store?
