PowerShell will resolve dependencies and install the package for the currently logged-in user.
To confirm the package installed correctly:
Get-AppxPackage -Name "*MyApp*"
By default, MSIX packages install only for the current user. To "provision" an app so it is available to every user who logs into the machine, you must use the Add-AppxProvisionedPackage cmdlet with administrative privileges:
Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Downloads\MyApp.msixbundle" install msix powershell
You cannot install an older version over a newer one.
The core cmdlet for installing MSIX packages is Add-AppxPackage . For line-of-business (LOB) applications not from the Microsoft Store, use the -Path parameter. PowerShell will resolve dependencies and install the package
However, note that when registering for a specific user directly through PowerShell like this, it might not directly work as expected due to complexities with user contexts and package registration. A typical approach to install for the current user involves using:
Replace "C:\Path\To\YourApp.msix" with the actual path to your MSIX file. The core cmdlet for installing MSIX packages is
Sometimes an MSIX package requires dependencies (like VC++ runtimes or .NET frameworks) bundled in separate .appx files. You can install just the dependencies using:
These commands should help you get started with installing MSIX packages via PowerShell. Always ensure you're running the correct version of PowerShell and Windows that supports MSIX packages (Windows 10, Windows 11, and corresponding Windows Server versions).
