Can't install additional components???

Today I've installed "foobar2000 v1.4 beta 11" from the official Microsoft Appstore (forwarded from the official foobar2000 website). I did it as told -> I opened foobar2000, opened File-Preferences(STRG+P), clicked on the components "tab", but there is no "Install..."-button neither can I use Drag'n'Drop, as told in the FAQ...

What should I do?

How do I install additional components?
To install components from the foobar2000 installer that you did not choose to install during the initial installation, just rerun the installer and select them; your settings will be kept intact. Please read on to learn about installing other components.

Note that this content applies to foobar2000 versions 1.1 and newer. If you're using an older version, please upgrade now to utilize the new interface.

Step 1: Open the foobar2000 preferences dialog.
Step 2: Go to the Components page.
Step 3: Click the “Install…” button and select the component archive, or simply drag it to the list.
Step 4: Press “OK”, you will be prompted to restart foobar2000 in order to load the newly installed component.

Note that the Microsoft Store distribution currently does not support loading of additional components; this is being worked on and will be addressed.
