Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

It‘s a normal fail which is not dedicated to WindowsAppSDK. As the error message showed, You can try logging out and logging back into the current account, or try logging into a different account. You may need to run PowerShell as Administrator or/and change the PowerShell execution policies for Windows computers.

Thank you.

Use Get-appxpackage -Name f643046f-........0ad59 to get PackageFullName and remove-appxpackage -Package PackageFullName.
As the error message said, Removing all packages that depend on the framework automatically removes the framework.

remove-appxpackage -Package f643046f-2567-426f-8afa-46d3c9d0ad59_1.0.0.0_x86__z5wbre804n17g

Seems to have worked since PS reports

remove-appxpackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF1, Package was not found.
because the current user does not have that package installed

So I think I removed the Windows app SDK Experimental
"
I follow "The standalone .exe installer, WindowsAppRuntimeInstall.exe, is available as a separate download beginning with Windows App SDK 1.0.1. It installs the Windows App SDK Runtime which includes the Framework, Main, Singleton and DDLM packages."

No guidance on which tool to install first. ( the Runtime install or the Cs Extension.)

So I’ll try the WindowsAppRuntimeInstall first.
It’s deploying a package ….. then its screen went away .
So I’ll try again I see three access is denied PS Statements before the screen disappears.
What should I do ?

Try to run as administrator.
According to Downloads for the Windows App SDK, Unpackaged or sparse-packaged apps that use the Windows App SDK can use the standalone .exe Runtime installer or MSIX packages to deploy the Windows App SDK package dependencies with their app.
