Windows 10: AppInstaller freezes

When I attempt to install via a certain .appinstaller file https://download.mytobiidynavox.com/Snap/installers/distribute/Snap.WindowsUWP.OEM.appinstaller after it has already been installed/uninstalled once, I see the status message "Getting the system ready for install...", but it never progresses from there. I can't check/uncheck the "Launch when ready" checkbox either - appinstaller appears to be frozen.


If I restart my machine, it seems to allow it to work once. But if I uninstall the app and try the .appinstaller again, it freezes again. Event Viewer doesn't have anything interesting for when it freezes. The only event logged is:


"Started deployment AddFromAppInstallerOperation operation on a package with main parameter Snap.WindowsUWP.OEM.appinstaller and Options ForceTargetApplicationShutdownOption and RequestReputationCheck. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues."


Other .appinstaller files seem to work fine with that processsuch as https://db-msixtest.azurewebsites.net/ContosoExpenses.Package.appinstaller.

Appinstaller file is not working correctly

On Windows 10, I get the following error below when trying install my program via the .appinstaller.

1) You can see in the .appinstaller xml file that the file is correct and not as reported

2) The MSIX file itself can be downloaded without issue in Developer mode.

Could someone let me know how the appinstaller is generating the wrong file?

Screen Freezing up

Andre, thanks for your suggestions. I performed all steps as you listed and it appears that there were

some problems that have been corrected. I will let you know in a day or so if the "freeze" problem

occurs again. Many thanks for your help --- this took longer than I expected!
