UWP App Installation from SCCM CB 2006

Hi,

Am installing an .appxbundle package targeted to device collection, using the native appx Deployment Type within SCCM CB.
I also have the option "Provision this application for all users on the device" ticked.

Observing 2 discrepancies with the app installation:

  1. On few machine, the app fails with error "0x80080203" which means its missing AppManifest.XML or other supporting files as listed in the link below:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/appxpkg/troubleshooting
    Find that error misleading as the same package installs fine on other machines.

Question: Does SCCM CB use powershell native command (Add-Appxpackage OR Add-AppxProvisionedPackage) or does it use native DISM to install the .appxbundle package. These commands are not captured within the sccm client logs like AppEnforce.log

  1. For some users, the app is only staged not installed. We get to know this if we file the PS command
    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers and look at PackageUserInformation section of the application. It only has SID of WindowsNT System User listed and says Staged

QUESTION: Anyone aware why this is?

Thank You.

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting in Microsoft MECM Q&A forum.

    Please help enable Side loading feature on Windows 10 machine to have a try. For more information, please refer to:

    anonymous user : Thank you but sideloading does not seem to be the issue in this case. Had already checked that.

    My 2 questions are mainly around:

    What is the approach that SCCMCB appx DeploymentType take to install the .appx / .appxbundle when the option "Provision application for all users on the device" is selected? Is it:

    1. Add-AppxPackage

    OR

    1. Add-AppxProvisionedPackage

    OR

    1. Dism approach?

    What does "Staged" alone means.. it it loaded in the image and yet to be applied?

    Thanks!
