Hi, I am trying to install a UWP app with a AppxManifest.xml file by typing this command into PowerShell.
However, there is an error.
I have developer mode turned on.
I am running Windows 10 Home 21H2 and am up to date.
Why can't I install my app?
Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
It seems that you are trying to sideload a UWP app on your application via PowerShell. You are running the wrong file as the installation script. The AppxManifest file is just a list of the app's properties.
When you created a sideload package, there should be an AppDevPackage.ps1 in the package folder and this is the file that you need to run with PowerShell.
Please take a look at this document for more information about how to generate a package and install it: Generate an app package
Thank you.
