Guide to installing Arc Browser on Windows 10

As this is not an official way of installing Arc, if you encounter any issues do NOT report them to the developers, they did not intend for people to be running Arc on Windows 10.

This guide is a bit more manual since I wanted to respect the developers' wishes and not directly link any downloads to the beta of Arc.

I don't know how this will work with updates, you may just need to redo the process to update it, but I'm not sure

  1. Install this font: https://aka.ms/SegoeFluentIcons (this fixes the icons since Windows 10 doesn't have this font installed by default)
  2. Download the Arc appinstaller and open it in notepad/some other text editor
  3. Copy everything inside and paste it into this website: https://codebeautify.org/xmlviewer (this is optional, but it makes reading and copying from the file easier)
  4. Find the mainpackage @Uri, it should end in Arc.x64.msix, and open that in a new tab. It should download that msix file.

PowerShell Exec function from psake
# Taken from psake https://github.com/psake/psake

.SYNOPSIS
This is a helper function that runs a scriptblock and checks the PS variable $lastexitcode
to see if an error occcured. If an error is detected then an exception is thrown.
This function allows you to run command-line programs without having to
explicitly check the $lastexitcode variable.
