FFS, why didn't they also provide a binary download? I don't want to download it and build it...

Because it isn't ready for general consumption, yet.

Case in point: I compiled it quite easily and it crashes on launch. Not ready for widespread use, yet.

Make sure you enable developer mode in the Windows Store settings, and then deploy the CascadiaPackage app (set as start-up project + F5 in VS, not sure off-hand how to do it from the command prompt.) That fixed it for me.

Maybe it only works on the Windows Insider builds right now. Or it did not like your GPU.

Hopefully it will also work on the Windows 10 LTSB builds when released.
