How do I install this without the store, it tells me I need Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8 but dont know how to install and download it.

All guides seem to assume store is present on the machine and guides I found to install Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8 assume there is a working winget.

You can use the sandbox script at MSFT Learn to install WinGet on a machine with Store disabled
