Using Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 causes installation to fail due to duplicate Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement package

Laza121 1

There's a question similar to this here - https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/36d80351-4807-4678-80a8-6a5da0f108ee/uwp-can-not-install-app-package-because-of-microsoftservicesstoreengagement-package?forum=dcefi

However, we need to install our app using Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 as part of our integration tests. The issue seems to be that "Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement package" is already installed on the system and is being used by some other app. When I try executing this command to remove the existing packages -

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

I get this message -

Windows cannot remove framework Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement_10.0.19011.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe because package(s)
DolbyLaboratories.DolbyAccess SAMSUNGELECTRONICSCO.LTD.1412377A9806A currently depends on the framework.

How can I continue to use Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 and install our app?

Yep, it looks it's DolbyLaboratories.DolbyAccess app's dependency, have you tried to remove DolbyLaboratories.DolbyAccess first, then remove Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement?

Yup, worked after that actually. Our app installed correctly after that via power shell as well. However, this is clearly some bug with installing via power shell.

it's hard to confirm a bug for powershell, because it has throw exception and told uninstall error reason. please process with the note.
